The present study focused on the prosocial behaviour of male and female higher education students of Arts and Science in the Coimbatore District (N=400, Male=200, Female 200). Helping is referred to as prosocial behaviour since it involves knowing the receiver's needs and making a genuine attempt to meet those needs. As a consequence, prosocial behaviour is defined as activities that benefit the recipient. Children and society both gain from the development of admirable traits when prosocial behaviour is modelled by adults. It is possible that in order to enhance prosocial behaviour, it will be required to minimise or do away with social behaviours that are not desirable. The spectrum of human helpful behaviour ranges from selfless acts of generosity to callous disregard for others' actual needs. Social psychologists have developed a growing interest in, and concern about, the factors that promote helpful behaviour. There are a number of factors that go into determining whether or not an individual will provide assistance to another person under a certain set of circumstances. The purpose of this research is to look at the link between prosocial behaviour among college students. Prosocial behaviour includes a broad range of actions intended at supporting one or more persons other than one, such as assisting, sharing, cooperating, and consoling. The study concluded that there is no significant association in the prosocial behaviour between male and female students.
