Abstract :Helpfulness is a value that humankind has been running to keep up with the economic, social and cultural conditions of daily life since the first day of its existence, that contributes to the welfare of the society, plays an important role in ensuring social unity, ensures social peace and prevents the deterioration of social balance. The aim of this research is to examine the helpfulness attitudes of primary school 4th grade students in the context of various variables. In the research, the survey (correlational survey) method, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The population of the research consists of 4th grade primary school students of a public school in Sivas, Turkey, and the sample of the research is a student group of 60 students in total, consisting of twenty students from A, B, C classes of this school. Simple-random sampling method was used to determine the sample. The helpfulness attitude scale developed by Aktepe (2010) and the information form developed by the researcher were used as data collection tools in the research. In the analysis of the data of the study, One-Way Anova and Tukey Tests were used. As a result of the research, it was determined that the interest in social media, playing games, reading books, cinema, cartoons and the number of friends made a significant and positive difference on the helpfulness attitudes of the fourth grade students. It was observed that the economic status of the families of the students did not make a significant difference in their attitudes towards the helpfulness value.
