        abstract = {This study aimed to examine the level of altruism among higher secondary school students with respect to gender and locality. The survey method was adopted for the study. A sample of 300 XI standard students from selected higher secondary schools in Chennai district, Tamil Nadu, was selected using a random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that there is no significant difference in altruism with respect to gender. However, a significant difference was found with respect to locality, where rural students showed higher altruism compared to urban students. The study highlights the influence of environmental and social factors on the development of altruistic behavior among adolescents.},
