“…It has been noted that although antisocial youth comprise a heterogeneous group, they may evidence some consistent differences from more prosocial adolescents (Robinson et al, 2007), such as lower empathy (Frick, 2003). Furthermore, typical developmental trajectories do not necessarily apply to adolescent offenders.…”

Remorse has long been important to the juvenile justice system. However, the nature of this construct has not yet been clearly articulated, and little research has examined its relationships with other theoretically and legally relevant variables. The present study was intended to address these issues by examining relationships among remorse, psychopathology, and psychopathy in a sample of adolescent offenders (N = 97) using the theoretically and empirically established framework of guilt and shame (Tangney & Dearing, 2002). Findings indicated that shame was positively related to behavioural features of psychopathy, whereas guilt was negatively related to psychopathic characteristics more broadly. In addition, shame was positively associated with numerous mental health problems whereas guilt was negatively associated with anger, depression, and anxiety. These results provide empirical support for theory that psychopathy is characterized by lack of remorse (e.g., Hare, 1991), and also underscore shame and guilt as potentially important treatment targets for adolescent offenders.

“…In addition, individuals with higher scores on PPI-R-II exhibit a reduced ability to react with distress when observing suffering in others (Jolliffe & Farrington, 2004;Robinson, Roberts, Strayer, & Koopman, 2007), and to use appropriate social skills (Dodge et al, 2003). As found in previous PPI research (Uzieblo et al, 2007), the behavioural-lifestyle traits were mainly associated with high fun seeking behaviour.…”

Research on the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R; Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005) initially revealed two factors: FearlessDominance, and Self-Centered Impulsivity. This study examined the validity of the PPI-R factors in a community sample (N=675). First, confirmatory factor analyses did not support the two-factor structure. Second, the PPI-R factors showed good convergent and discriminant validity with two other selfreport measures of psychopathy, i.e. the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI; Andershed, Kerr, Stattin, & Levander, 2002) and the Levenson's SelfReport of Psychopathy (LSRP; Levenson, Kiehl, & Fitzpatrick, 1995). Third, PPI-R factors exhibited good external validity in relation to various theoretically relevant correlates. Our results indicate that the PPI-R factors have good convergent, discriminant, and external validity, but our confirmatory factor analysis raises concerns about the robustness of the twofactor structure.

“…From the above it can be said that empathy has a stronger effect on promoting prosocial, that is, reducing antisocial behavior in men compared to women. The stronger effect of empathy in boys may be due to the different aspects of socialization and the expectations that society sets for boys and girls (20). Social norms require girls to be less aggressive and more prosocial, regardless of whether they feel empathy or not.…”

The aim of this review was to provide an overview of research into the relationship between empathy and bullying. Therefore the review indicated a number of researches that show different effects of empathy on bullying, regarding the type of bullying, roles in bullying behavior, as well as gender. From a review of research it may be concluded that empathy significantly contributes to a reduction in various forms of violence. Most research indicates the importance of the affective component of empathy compared to the cognitive component. The results of research into the relationship of empathy and its role in bullying behavior were less consistent. For this reason, the review highlighted methodological difficulties in the study of bullying and empathy. Conclusion -In conclusion it could be said that most studies show a negative correlation between empathy and various types of violence. Furthermore, it is evident that different components of empathy have differing degrees of influence in direct and indirect forms of violent behavior.
