Abstract

The attitude behind the sharing, caring, donating, comforting, cooperating, and helping behaviours of individuals is termed prosocial attitude. Such dispositions enable a secondary school teacher to disentangle adolescent student problems in a fruitful manner. Prospective teachers are students undergoing teacher training with an ambition to become competent and committed teachers. Hence the prosocial attitude of such teacher trainees is of great importance; the present study discusses the prosocial attitude of prospective teachers in relation to their gender, locale, and socioeconomic status. A self made Prosocial Attitude Scale was utilized by the investigator to assess the prosocial attitude of 800 prospective teachers randomly selected from four districts of Kerala. Analysis of data employing independent sample t test and ANOVA reveal no gender difference in prosocial attitude of prospective teachers. However prosocial attitude of prospective teachers differ with respect to locale and socioeconomic status.
