Abstract Objective To understand the current situation of young students’ helping behavior and its influencing factors, and promote the helping behavior of young students. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out on 1 791 high school and college students on helping behavior, empathy, self-esteem, and social support. The structural equation model was used to explore the influencing factors of helping behavior, and explore the differences of models in different grades. Results Social support positively predicted helping behaviors of young students through the mediating effect of self-esteem and empathy. High school students’ social support significantly positively predicted helping behavior, and self-esteem and empathy played a partial mediating role. College students’ social support could not predict helping behavior, and self-esteem and empathy played a full mediating role. Conclusion Young students’ helping behavior is affected by social support, and social support positively predicts helping behavior through the mediating effect of self-esteem and empathy. The difference of school stage can affect the mediating effect of self-esteem and empathy ability in social support and helping behavior.
