International Comparative Case Study of High School Students about Empathy

Abstract

In this study, we attempted to investigate the empathy ability of Korean adolescents. Davis' Interpersonal Reactivity Index was applied to 1155 high school students in Korea, and the results were compared with those obtained from the survey of the American and Dutch students with similar ages. As a result, high school students in Korea had higher cognitive empathy than other countries. But, in cognitive empathy, Fantasy (FN) was lower than Perspective Taking (PT), unlike other countries. The mean score of women in all empathy subscales was higher than that of men. And there is significant difference between humanities and natural science high school students in PT, Empathic Concern (EC) and Personal Distress (PD). However, in the comparison of mean score's effect size and correlation in the subscales of the empathetic scale, it was confirmed as an unstable structure in PD. Therefore, there is a need to educationally discuss how to improve this limitation of measuring empathy in the further research.

Hubungan Tindakan Bullying dengan Tingkat Kepercayaan Diri Seseorang

“…Sedangkan 14 responden (31,1%) lainnya tidak setuju dengan pernyataan tersebut. Tindakan bullying dapat didasari dari sisi pelaku yang memiliki kepribadian otoriter, selalu ingin dituruti, dan juga ingin menguasai orang lain (Yang et al, 2019). Ketika tindakan bullying dilakukan dan korban tidak melakukan perlawanan, maka hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan pelaku bullying memiliki tingkat kepercayaan diri yang lebih tinggi sehingga membentuk mereka menjadi pribadi yang berwatak keras, tidak memiliki empati, emosi yang tidak terkontrol, serta merasa memiliki kekuasaan dan wewenang diantara sekitarnya (Brito & Oliveira, 2013).…”
