Abstract

Objectives: The current study aimed to reveal the level of helping behavior, the degree of the Big Five Factors, and to identify the differences between them. It also sought to verify the research hypothesis of the predictive ability of the Big Five factors of helping behavior among Malian, Indonesian, and Mauritanian students at the Islamic University of Madinah.

Methods: The study followed the predictive survey method. The Helping Behavior Scale was used by Caprara and colleagues (Caprara, et al., 2005), and the Big Five Factors scale for Soto and John (Soto & John, 2017). The study tools were applied - to a selective stratified sample of (347) students at the Islamic University.

Results: The results showed that a very high level of helping behavior among the sample members. Levels of the Big Five Personality Factors varied among respondents. The negative emotionality factor was low, the extraversion and openness factors were medium, while the agreeableness and conscientiousness factors were high. The results also showed the absence of differences in helping behavior among Malian, Indonesian, and Mauritanian Islamic University students. Finally, the results revealed that the research hypothesis was partially fulfilled, as the variables extraversion, agreeableness, and openness (as positive predictors), and the negative emotion variable (as negative predictors) were able to predict helping behavior, while the conscientiousness variable failed to do so.

Conclusions: Benefiting of the Islamic university students in volunteer work and helping Medinan society. Given that Mauritanian students suffer from a medium degree of negative emotion – showed be shown in results - it is preferable to provide counseling services through the university's counseling center; to lower those negative feelings.
