Abstract: A one-and-a-half-year longitudinal study (4 tests in total) was conducted to explore the development trend of Internet altruistic behavior (IAB) among adolescents and the relationship between social class and the developmental trends of adolescents’ IAB. A total of 832 participates aged 12~20 years completed all questionnaires. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) results showed that: (1) The adolescents’ IAB showed an increasing trend over time; (2) Gender, weekly online time and objective social class had no significant influence on the development trend of the adolescents’ IAB, while subjective social class had significant influence on the development trend of adolescents’ IAB. That is, the higher the adolescents’ subjective social class, the stronger the upward trend of their IAB.

Key words: internet altruistic behavior, subjective social class, objective social class, longitudinal study, adolescents
