The present study was aimed to develop and validate altruism scale within Pakistani social context. In phase I, a
study was carried out in which 30 interviews (men =15, women =15) were conducted to conceptualize the
construct of altruism. Initial item pool of 72 items was generated from qualitative data and the existing SelfReport Altruism Scale (SRAS) developed by Rushton, Chrisjohn, and Fekken (1981). After an extensive
scrutiny and evaluation by the 5 judges, 30 items were selected for the final scale. These items were phrased in
self-report format with a five-point rating scale. In phase II, psychometric properties of the scale were
established. It was then administered to a sample of 200 participants (100 men and 100 women) with the age
ranged from 18 to 25 years (M = 21.49, SD = 2.17). The results indicated that 24-items Self-Report Altruism
Scale had high reliability (α = .92). The findings of exploratory factor analysis revealed four domains and these
domains were labeled as emergency help, monetary/emotional help, social responsibility and common help.
Furthermore, the scale showed satisfactory convergent validity with self-report altruism scale (r =.53, p < .01)
and discriminant validity with non-generosity (r = -.13, p = ns) and introversion scale (r = -.40, p < .05).
