Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and college students’ prosocial behavior, and the mechanism of empathy and moral disengagement in the relationship. A total of 677 college students were investigated by Self-esteem Scale (SES), Adolescent Prosocial Tendency Scale (PTM), Interpersonal Response Index (IRI-C) and Moral Disengagement Questionnaire. The results showed that: (1) self-esteem positively predicted prosocial behavior of college students; (2) Empathy played a mediating role in self-esteem and prosocial behavior; (3) Moral disengagement had significant moderating effect on self-esteem and prosocial behavior of college students.Specifically, self-esteem had a greater impact on prosocial behavior in groups with high levels of moral disengagement.（4）Moral disengagement had no significant moderating effect on the influence of empathy on prosocial behavior.

Key words: self-esteem, prosocial behavior, empathy, moral disengagement, college students
