Abstract
When the studies in the literature are examined, it is seen that content analyses of cartoons are frequently included, but prosocial skills are not included in studies on school period. For this reason, while examining the prosociality levels of children within the scope of the research, the reflection of prosociality in the cartoons they watch the most was also examined. The research aims to reflect prosocial behaviours to children in cartoons and to examine prosocial behaviours in children. In this study, simultaneous mixed methods design, which is one of the mixed research methods in which content analysis from qualitative research methods and descriptive survey model from quantitative research methods are used together, was preferred. The number of students attending primary school in Kırıkkale, where the study was conducted, was found to be 9337. In order for the sample to represent the population, at least 370 children should be reached as a result of the calculation made with a 95% confidence interval and a margin of error of 0.05. However, 278 primary school students were reached as a result of data loss in the qualitative dimension of the research. When the mean scores of the sample were examined, it was found that the mean scores of the children in the sub-dimensions and the total score were above the scale average, so the prosociality skills of the children were high. Among the favourite characters of children, Hayri is followed by Kamil, Şakir and İbi, respectively. When the Child Prosociality Scale was compared according to the favourite characters, no significant difference was observed in all sub-dimensions. In the list of the most frequently watched cartoons by children, it is seen that the majority is Rafadan Tayfa, followed by King Şakir and İbi and Tosi, respectively. When the scores obtained from the sub-dimensions of the scale are examined, there is no significant difference according to the watched cartoon. When the episodes of Rafadan Tayfa, Kral Şakir and İbi and Tosi, which are the most watched cartoons by children, are examined, it is seen that prosocial skills are frequently included. Among the prosocial skills, it was seen that the most common skill in cartoons was cooperation. After helping, the other prosocial skill frequently mentioned in cartoons is sharing. Compared to other skills, the prosocial skill that is less frequently mentioned in cartoons is empathy.
