Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between moral self-concept and pro-social behavior tendencies of college students. A total of 756 college students from Guangzhou by stratified and convenience sampling completed the moral self-concept scale and the pro-social behavior tendency questionnaire. The results show that: (1) The moral self-concept of college students is generally high, where social moral self-concept is the highest and the individual moral self-concept is the lowest. Gender difference in moral self-concept is significant with males scoring lower than females; (2) moral self-concept issignificantly related to pro-social behavior;(3) interpersonal self-concept and social moral self-concept together accountfor 32.6% variance of pro-social behavior tendencies. These findings suggest that increasing one’s moral self-concept could promote his/her pro-social behavior tendencies
