Social responsibility and civic engagement as factors in the formation of safe prosocial behaviour

Abstract

The article deals with the phenomena of social responsibility and civic activity, acting as factors of safe prosocial behaviour. Various approaches of the studied phenomena are presented. The results of empirical research of social responsibility, civic activity and prosocial identity among students are presented. Correlation analysis using Pearson correlation revealed a strong direct correlation between the content of prosocial identity and social responsibility, prosocial content of identity and citizenship, respondents' citizenship and social responsibility, as well as inverse correlation between social isolation of individual and social responsibility. Students are dominated by moderate levels of social responsibility and civic engagement, as well as low levels of social exclusion.
