Description
Summary:There is a growing interest on the topic of prosocial behavior, particularly its factors. But most of the available literature only focuses on a single predictor. This study aimed to determine the possible predictors of prosocial behavior particularly: parenting styles (permissive, authoritative and authoritarian), student-teacher relationship, peer relationship and personality (over controlled, under controlled and resilient). A survey containing questionnaires about the four perceived major predictors and prosocial behavior was administered to 200 students from De La Salle University and De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. The gathered data was analyzed using multiple linear regression and correlation analysis. The results of the study yielded to permissive parenting style, authoritative parenting style, under controlled personality type and resilient personality type as the significant predictors of prosocial behavior.
