This study aims to analyse how fathers play a role in shaping the prosocial behaviour of adolescents in Lubuk Karet Village. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of three fathers with teenage children aged 12-18 years. The results of the study indicate that the role of fathers in parenting, whether through example, advice, or emotional support, contributes positively to the formation of prosocial behaviour in children. However, time constraints due to work demands pose a challenge in optimising the role of fathers. Nevertheless, children who receive more attention from their fathers tend to exhibit stronger prosocial attitudes compared to those with minimal interaction with their fathers. The conclusion of this study emphasises that the role of fathers is crucial in shaping prosocial behaviour in adolescents. Therefore, greater awareness among fathers is needed to actively participate in parenting, along with support from the social environment to enhance father-child interaction.
