Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between self-concept and prosocial behavior among students at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The participants consisted of 348 students of Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using Likert-type psychological scales, namely a self-concept scale based on the aspects of self-concept proposed by Fitts and a prosocial behavior scale based on the aspects of sharing, cooperation, donating, helping, honesty, and generosity proposed by Eisenberg and Mussen. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability, with Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of 0.903 for the self-concept scale and 0.858 for the prosocial behavior scale. Data analysis was conducted using normality testing, linearity testing, and Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between self-concept and prosocial behavior among students at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.732 and a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient indicates that the relationship between self-concept and prosocial behavior is categorized as strong. The positive direction of the relationship indicates that the higher the students’ self-concept, the higher their prosocial behavior. Conversely, lower self-concept is associated with lower prosocial behavior. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected.
