Prosociality Among College Students in Sabah, Malaysia: An Empirical Study

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prosociality among 91 college students in Sabah, Malaysia, who completed the 16-item Prosociality Scale online. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed no significant differences in students’ prosociality by way of age and ethnicity, while Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant differences in terms of gender. Additionally, Wilcoxon signed rank test, which was conducted to determine the level of significance of each prosociality item by using a hypothesized value of 3.5, showed that all items were significant at p < .001. Moreover, the overall mean of students’ prosociality was 67.4, indicating that their prosociality was of average level. In light of the findings, some recommendations were made on how to improve college students’ prosociality. Keywords: college students, Malaysia, prosocial behavior, prosociality, Sabah.
