We used three scales of measure of empathic, problem solving, and interpersonal communication self-efficacy ( Caprara, 2001 ), and the Prosocial Tendencies Measure ( Carlo in addition, self-efficacy in problem solving and empathy was positively related to public prosocial behavior. Future research could analyze the impact of other psychological dimensions (e.g. resilience, personality traits, and value orientations) on prosocial tendencies.
