Effect of Covid 19 on Prosociality of Adolescents

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of covid 19 on the prosociality of adolescents. In the present study an online survey has been floated by using a Helping attitude scale (HAS). There were 20 items in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into 2 sections (pre covid & during covid). The study involved sampling of 40 subjects, selected randomly. The participants were free to respond through the use of desktop, laptop, smart phones, etc. The responses were later analysed by using paired t-test statistical method. It was found that covid 19 has not impacted much on the helping behaviour of adolescents. Adolescents are equally helpful as they were earlier. The limitation of the study is that the sample size was less and they can be increased for further research.
