In the analysis of data, percentage, average, variance analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis techniques have been used. The study identified the existence of a negative relationship between the lower dimensions of the school climate scale; the positive meaningful relationship between the lower dimensions of the student commitment and the prosocial behavior scale; and the subdimensional negative relationship between the subdimensional positive social behavior and the subdimensional negative. The results of multiple regression analysis have found that the school climate significantly influences the student’s commitment and the tendency to develop positive social behavior. At the end of the study, recommendations were presented to policy makers, practitioners and researchers.
