- 1. Understanding the relationship between Religiosity and Pro-social behavior amongst Youth By :Archisha Arora Kavya Malhotra Sukriti Julka Namita Tayal
- 2. Introduction • Almost all the religions of the World whether it is Christianity, Hindu, Buddhism, Jain, Sikh and Islam etc. have preached for righteous relationship amongst the human beings in terms of Altruism. • Religion is a phenomenon evident in every culture. Different types of religion exist depending on the group of believers, the number of gods worshiped and the representations of these gods. However all religions are built on a common ground.

- 4. Research Gap In the review of literature, we found a number of studies that state a negative and no correlation between religiosity and prosociality. However our point of interest was that the common ground for almost all religions is the encouragement of prosocial behaviour. So we conducted a research on the same taking these two variables into account. Our results show that there is a positive correlation between religiosity and prosociality.
- 5. Objective The aim of the present study was to understand the relationship between religiosity and pro-social behavior
- 6. Methodology • Sample size: 60 Undergraduate students • Sample characteristics: 60 Undergraduate students comprising of all religions from Delhi University • Sampling: Convenience Sampling • Tools: Centrality of Religiosity Scale and Youth Pro-social behavior scale
- 7. Results • Bivariate correlation was performed on the data by using SPSS. • Results indicate that positive association was established between religiosity and pro-social behaviour. This indicates that as religiosity increases, the pro-social behaviour in the individuals also increases. Dimensions Correlation Significance Religiosity 0.52 0.54 Pro Sociality 0.52 0.54
- 8. Discussion Religiosity and Prosoociality Klearhos k. Stamatoulakis (2013): The studies retrieved are dated from 2005 to 2010. The main hypothesis of the study is that religiosity is positively correlated with prosociality. Secondary hypothesis is that religious priming, both subliminal and direct, will affect religious and, also, non- religious individuals in promoting and enhancing prosocial behaviour. Our conclusions are that (a) religiosity predicts prosociality and (b) priming affects both groups for different reasons. Religiosity and Prosocial Behaviours in Adolescence: The Mediating Role of Prosocial Values Hardy, Sam A.; Carlo, Gustavo Religiosity and Prosocial Behaviours in Adolescence: The Mediating Role of Prosocial ValuesIn this study Religiosity was a significant positive predictor of kindness, as well as compliant, anonymous and altruistic prosocial behaviour, but not public, dire and emotional prosocial behaviour.
- 9. Conclusion • According to Mahatma Gandhi ‘If we are to teach real peace in the world we shall have to begin with children.’ Education is not a mere pile of facts and data for memorization but a source of enlightenment and strength. • Kothari Commission (1966) pointed out, “In the development that we envisage in the future, we hope that the pursuit of men, material affluence and power would be subordinated to that of higher values and the fulfillment of the individual.” The National Education policy 1986 also reflects the light on value based education. • Content related to ‘Bhagavad Gita ’ is already included in National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT)’s Class XII Sanskrit text book, namely, Shashwati, Part-II (Chapter IV: Karma Gauravam) since 2007-08. • Thus, it should be taught at different levels of education in widely understood languages in a neutral nature to enhance spiritual intelligence.
- 10. Future Directions Qualitative research can be conducted to understand how the two variables i.e., religiousness and prosocial behaviour hang together in one large frame.
- 11. Limitations • Small sample size • Less hetrogeneity • For most people, a complete understanding of what religion is and what it means to them does not develop until middle adulthood, so the results may vary with age.
