1 Dr. A. Rajkamal, 2 Dr. N. PremaPeople give importance for the idiom “what others think about me and whether they accept me, or whether they like me? But it is much more important than that, we have to accept our-self, think positively about our-self and we should love our-self. Self-Acceptance is a boost for human being to make their life a meaningful one. Self-love brings more strength physically as well as mentally. And also nurtures peace in mind and paving the road to travel smoothly. Prosocial Behaviour creates good opinion in the society and plays an important role to create optimistic relationships among people, sows seeds for social change. This study aimed to understand whether the college students have the quality of self-acceptance, and Prosocial Behaviour? To accomplish this aim, there are two tools have been used to measure “Self-Acceptance” and “Prosocial Behaviour”, which were prepared and standardized by the investigator as per the standardization procedure. After collecting required data from a sample of 321 students through survey method, the statistical analysis have been made. The result shows that, the level of Self-Acceptance and Prosocial Behaviour are at average level only. And the correlational analysis shows that there is a high level of positive relationship exists between Self-Acceptance and Prosocial Behaviour.
