The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between prosocialness, affect and mental wellbeing. A total of 184 young adults studying in various colleges of Delhi were recruited for the study. The sample consisted of 92 males and 92 females in the age range of 18-24 years (Mean age=20.9, SD=1.45) selected using a purposive sampling method. Measures to assess prosocialness, affects and mental wellbeing were administered on all the participants. Prosocialness was found to have a significant positive correlation with positive affect and mental well-being, while no significant correlation was found between prosocialness and negative affect. The study demonstrates that increase in prosocial behaviour is associated with increase in both positive affect and mental wellbeing. The results of this study contribute to a growing literature supporting the benefits of indulging in prosocial behaviour in different aspects of life. It highlights the significance of educating the masses about the benefits of prosocial behaviour to ourselves in addition to development of a more benevolent and compassionate society.
