Abstract: Significant others affected adolescents'prosocial intention in particular situation.Moreover,the effect of anticipated others'viewpoint and attitude is more significant.This study investigated the role of adolescents' anticipated others'viewpoint in prosocial intention in the assumptive dilemmas.The result demonstrated that the degree of deviation between adolescents' prosocial intention and anticipated others' viewpoint changed with different conflict situations types differently.Adolescents'prosocial intention and anticipated parents'viewpoint showed the minimum degree of deviation in the conflict situation of"one's own health vs.other people's health", while the minimum degree of deviation between their prosocial intention and anticipated teachers' viewpoint appeared in the situation of "one's own study vs.other people's study".Then came the minimum deviate degree between adolescents' prosocial intention and anticipated peers' viewpoint,which existed in the situation of "interpersonal relationship vs.honest quality".Adolescents'approval degree in significant others'viewpoint moderated the relation between anticipated others'viewpoint and their prosocial intention.when adolescents highly agreed with anticipated significant others'viewpoint,this viewpoint positively predicted their prosocial intention.When they were less likely to agree with anticipated significant others'viewpoint,the predictive effect of this viewpoint didn't exsit.The results indicated that adults and peers influenced adolescents separately,and the influence was restricted by life events field.

Key words: adolescents, conflict situations, prosocial intention, significant others, viewpoint anticipating
