摘要
The present study was designed to compare prosocial behaviour across three generation. The sample consists of 300 respondents, 100 in each group i.e. children, parents and grandparents, from various districts of Hatyana especially Rohtak and nearby areas. Respondents for the three generation groups were taken from the same family i.e. (three subsequent generations) in order to reduce within group variance. To measure prosocial behaviour Helping attitude scale and Emotional Empathy Scale were used. The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. One way ANOVA (Repeated Measure) was applied to the data. Generation differences were obtained on prosocial behaviour and empathy. The results of Post hoc analysis further revealed that children possess more helping attitude than their parents and grandparents. Children also express more empathic behaviour than grandparents but no significant differences were observed between children and parents; and parents and grandparents. The results and implications of the study are discussed in detail in the paper.
