Abstract This study focused on the relationship between empathy and prosocial behavior among individuals aged between 18 to 30 years old . The sample consisted of 90 individuals, including both students and working professionals. The study used the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) to assess empathy and the Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) was used to measure behavior with the aim of establishing if there exists a notable correlation, between these distinct factors. The study found a significant positive correlation (r = 0.847, p<.001) between empathy and prosocial behavior, suggesting that individuals with higher empathy are more likely to engage in prosocial acts. These results offer supporting evidence for establishing theories like the Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis and the Emotional Contagion Theory, which propose that empathy plays a crucial role in motivating altruistic behavior. According to the study, developing empathy in young people may improve prosocial behavior, resulting in more compassionate and socially responsible communities.
