<![CDATA[Altruism in society can reduce the problems caused by the decline of moral and humanistic values. To develop altruistic behavior, it is necessary to determine the personality traits and problem-solving ability that are likely to be associated with it. The aim of the study was to examine the role of personality traits and problem-solving strategies on altruism. A total of 454 university students (309 women and 145 men), chosen through a random selection method, participated in the research. The following scales were used for the study: Altruism Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory-Extroversion Scale, and Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Short Form. No gender difference was found in altruism. Extroverts scored significantly higher than introverts on altruism and its subscales. According to the correlation analysis, there was a moderate positive relationship between altruism, extroversion, and social problem-solving skills. The regression analysis concluded that extroversion and social problem-solving skills explain 20% of the total variance in altruism. Extroversion and social problem-solving skills were found to significantly predict altruism. Future research should consider investigating possible moderating and mediating variables in the relationship between social problem-solving and altruism.]]>
