Abstract

The aim of this study was designing and testing a model for precedents of prosocial behavior in students of Shahid Chamran University in Ahvaz. In this model, empathy is independent variable that directly and indirectly predicted prosocial behaviors by mediation of religiosity, moral identity and prosocial moral reasoning using AMOS. 438 undergraduate students were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used for testing the proposed model. Results showed that the direct paths from empathy to prosocial behavior, empathy to prosocial reasoning, religiosity to prosocial behavior, and prosocial reasoning to prosocial behavior were non-significant. After omitting, non-significant paths, the model fitted the data properly.
