En este estudio se analizó el efecto del desarrollo positivo sobre la contribución en jóvenes, y se identificaron las diferencias entre los jóvenes que han realizado actividades de voluntariado y los que no las han realizado; además se analizó la activación de las neuronas espejo. Participaron 121 universitarios, 28.9% hombres y 71.1% mujeres, con una media de edad de 21.51 años. Se utilizó la escala de Desarrollo Positivo en Adolescentes y de Contribución, además de un instrumento conformado por dos conjuntos de estímulos visuales. Los resultados corroboraron el efecto de las 5 C’s sobre la contribución y se encontraron diferencias significativas en la escala de carácter y en dos dimensiones de contribución, donde los jóvenes que realizan actividades de voluntariado puntuaron más alto que aquellos que no las realizan. Se comprobó que existe activación en la zona correspondiente a las neuronas espejo, lo cual se relaciona con procesos empáticos. Se concluye que existe una relación entre las actividades de voluntariado y el desarrollo positivo en jóvenes universitarios.

The study analyzed the effect of positive development on contribution in young people and identified the differences between those who have done volunteer work and those who have not. It also studied the activation of the mirror neurons system. Participants were 121 university students, 28.9% male and 71.1% female, with an average age of 21.51. The Positive Youth Development Scale and the Contribution Scale were used, in addition to an instrument made up of two sets of visual stimuli. The results confirmed the effect of the 5 Cs on the contribution dimension and significant differences were found in the character scale and in two dimensions of contribution, in which young people who do volunteer work got higher scores than those who do not. The study confirmed that there was activation in the zone corresponding to the mirror neurons system, which is related to empathetic processes, and concluded that there was a relation between volunteering activities and the positive development of university students.

Neste estudo, foi analisado o efeito do desenvolvimento positivo sobre a contribuição em jovens e foram identificadas as diferenças entre os jovens que realizaram atividades de voluntariado e os que não as realizaram; além disso, foi analisada a ativação dos neurônios espelho. Participaram 121 universitários, 28.9 % homens e 71.1% mulheres, com uma média de idade de 21.51 anos. Foi utilizada a Escala de Desenvolvimento Positivo em Adolescentes e de Contribuição, ainda de um instrumento conformado por dois conjuntos de estímulos visuais. Os resultados corroboraram o efeito das 5 c’s sobre a contribuição e foram verificadas diferenças significativas na escala de caráter e em duas dimensões de contribuição, em que os jovens que realizam atividades de voluntariado pontuaram mais alto que aqueles que não as realizam. Foi comprovado que existe ativação na zona correspondente aos neurônios espelho, o que está relacionado com processos empáticos. Conclui-se que existe uma relação entre as atividades de oluntariado e o desenvolvimento positivo em jovens universitários.
