Abstract

The study focused to find correlation between personality aspects (Extraversion and Introversion) and Altruism among University students. The research instruments for collecting data were psychological scales of items consist of 05-point Likert self-reported Altruistic scale (J. Philippe et all 1981), an 18 -items. The first scale focused on prosocial behaviour of the students through 05-point Likert scale with modes of Never, Once, more than once, often, and very often. The second personality type scale by (James C. MacCroskey) the responses were collected on 5-Likert’s scale: e.g. 1. Strongly disagree, 2. Disagree, 3. Neither disagree nor agree, 4. Agree, 5. Strongly agree. These scales were data collecting tools for the study and personally administered to the targeted sample. A sample of 150 students was taken for convenience. The responses of the students were carefully analysed, calculated and tabulated in the light of the stated objectives. The statistical tool SPSS 21 version was used for analysis purpose. Descriptive statistics like Frequency, Percentage, Mean and Standard deviation were employed. Pearson co-efficient was used to investigate the correlation variables among analysis respectively. The study findings showed no significant difference of introverted and extroverted personality with altruism (helping others). The Cronbach's Alpha of Altruism scale is 0.8 which shows strong reliability.
