<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This paper analyzes the relationship of boys and girls with parents who profess the Protestant religious tradition with the content of the parable of the Good Samaritan, based on the identification with the characters in the parable and the development of prosocial behaviors. This analysis is a contribution to the few studies found on the relationship between identification with the characteristics of the characters in religious texts and prosocial behavior. Five (5) boys and girls aged 6 and 7 participated in the study (M = 6.4 SD: 0.54). The quasi-experimental design had five steps: 1) preliminary questions about prosocial behavior; 2) reading the text adapted for children; 3) questions aimed at identifying with the characters in the parable; 4) graphic representation of each child; and 5) questions oriented to prosocial behavior after reading. A relationship was found between prosocial behavior and identification with the main character of the biblical story.</span></p>
