It was hypothesized that modern youth behave pro-socially by taking the feelings of receivers into consideration. In a pilot study, a questionnaire containing three measures was administered to student participants(n=306). The measures were:(1) scale of pro-social behavior, which requires student anticipations and their reasons. This scale is composed of four situations, pointing out a friends`mistakes, hearing a friend talks of difficulty, encouraging a worrying friend and comforting a crying friend,(2) The Object Relations Scale and (3) Multi-Dimensional Empathy scale. Results indicated that there were significant differences in the occurrence of the four situations of pro-social behaviors and the reasons that were selected by the participants. In all situations,pro-social behaviors were positively related to personally oriented reasons and empathic interests, but negatively related to worrying about hurting friends and superficiality in interpersonal relationships. These findings suggest that the inclination to hesitate and reasons for pro-social behaviors was compound with the situations in a complex relationship. |
