Abstract: Simply correlation and Canonical correlation analysis were used together to explore the correlations of prosocial tendencies and prosocial moral reasoning on Chinese college students. The results were as follows: Chinese college students report dire prosocial tendency most, followed by altruistic, emotional, compliant, anonymous and public prosocial tendencies; They take need-oriented prosocial moral reasoning most, followed by stereotypic, internalized, hedonistic and approval-oriented prosocial moral reasoning; The stereotypic moral reasoning and the internalized moral reasoning are related positively to the six types of prosocial tendencies; Canonical correlation analysis shows that the correlations of prosocial tendencies and prosocial moral reasoning are not so high as the former theories suggests. Canonical variables mainly stand for the dire, anonymous and compliant prosocial tendencies; these prosocial tendencies are mainly explained by internalized, stereotypic and need-oriented prosocial moral reasoning.

Key words: college students, prosocial tendency, prosocial moral reasoning, canonical correlation analysis
