Abstract: Based on adolescents' conceptual representation of prosocial behavior and their emphasis on peer relationship, combining social skills training and cognitive training, we designed intervention courses with regard to improving peer relationship, which included establishment of peer relations, maintenance of peer relations, and conflict resolution. The intervention courses lasted ten weeks (45 minutes per week). Results showed that the intervention courses not only significantly improved the students' peer relationship, but also promoted their prosocial behaviors, especially the dimensions of altruism, commonweal-rule, and interpersonal relationship. Discussion focused on the implications for understanding the role of peer-relationship intervention courses in cultivating adolescents' prosocial behavior.

Key words: adolescents, peer relationship, intervention courses, prosocial behavior
