An Investigation of Empathic Tendencies and Self-Concepts of Secondary School Students
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate empathic tendencies and self-concepts of secondary school
students (6, 7 and 8th graders) according to certain variables and possible relationships between empathic tendency
and self-concept. Data were collected by means of the General Information Form, KA-SI Empathic Tendency Scale
for Children and Adolescents-Adolescent Form, and Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale. To analyze the data,
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Scheffe test were done and correlation
coefficients were calculated. Results of the study showed that type of school attendance and gender had significant
effect on the “Emotional Empathy” and “Cognitive Empathy” sub-scores and the “Total Empathy” scores. Grade
level had significant impact on the “Cognitive Empathy” sub-score, though. It was determined that type of attendance
and grade level had significant effect on the “Self-Concept” score. For all three types of school attendance, positive
correlations were found between the “Cognitive Empathy” and “Total Empathy” scores and the “Self-Concept”
score.
