Willingness to help others is an essential attitude by which one can lead an effective social life. The term "pro-social" refers to the behavior that is positive and intended to benefit other individuals. It is an internationally voluntary behavior (Eisenberg, 1990). The present review tries to find out the relationship between pro-social behavior and demographic variables like home and school environment, gender, self efficacy, self concept, waning personality traits, value orientation, subjective well being, empathy, locality, and academic outcome of high school students. A literature search using Google Scholar, Review Science Direct, Research Gate, and Academia, a database covering the period from 2000–2022, was conducted. The author reviewed studies with certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. Search terms were Pro-social Behavior, Academic Outcome, and High School Students. After examining different types of empirical papers, it was found that in most of the studies, this variable (pro-social behavior) has been ignored by the researchers working in this area of research in India. Methodological and theoretical issues have been discussed.
