“…Así, se afirma que la empatía depende del contexto o de la víctima y no es un rasgo estable (Day et al, 2011;Marshall et al, 2009;Martínez, Redondo, Pérez & García, 2008), y que realmente no es una variable que permita diferenciar agresores de grupos normativos ni que su tratamiento pueda reducir la reincidencia (Day et al, 2010;Huss & Ralston, 2008;Jolliffe & Farrington, 2004). Tal vez por eso, las tasas de psicopatía son más bajas de las esperadas en muestras de agresores encarcelados (Echeburúa & Fernández-Montalvo, 2007;Fernández-Montalvo & Echeburúa, 2008).…”

“…La investigación actual apoya la visión de la empatía como un constructo multi-componente, formado por aspectos cognitivos (reconocer e identificarse con los sentimientos del otro) y emocionales (experimentar dichos sentimientos) (Day et al, 2010;Fernández-Pinto, López-Pérez & Márquez, 2008;Marshall, Marshall, Serran & O'Brien, 2009;McPhedran, 2009;Owen & Fox, 2011). Según Davis (1996), la empatía está compuesta por cuatro constructos: antecedentes (aspectos del observador, del receptor y de la situación), procesos (medios para generar una respuesta empática, cognitivos o no), respuestas intrapersonales (reacciones cognitivas y emocionales del observador, resultado de la exposición al objetivo) y respuestas interpersonales (acciones dirigidas hacia el objeto de la empatía, incluida la conducta de ayuda o la agresión).…”

ResumenFrecuentemente se señalan variables emocionales para describir el perfil de los agresores de pareja y para incorporarlas a los programas de tratamiento. El presente estudio compara las puntuaciones en apego adulto, empatía y autoestima de 90 agresores de pareja en prisión con un grupo de control de la población general (N=94). Ambas muestras fueron evaluadas con el Cuestionario de Apego Adulto, el Índice de Reactividad Interpersonal y la Escala de Autoestima. Los agresores fueron clasificados en dos conglomerados para valorar la posible existencia de un subtipo patológico y otro parecido a la población general. Los resultados no muestran diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Pese a no confirmarse las hipótesis predominantes a nivel académico, los resultados son congruentes con estudios recientes que señalan la ausencia de diferencias entre agresores y grupos normativos. Se discute el efecto de los instrumentos de evaluación en los resultados y su utilidad para las intervenciones.Palabras clave: Agresores de pareja, apego adulto, empatía, autoestima AbstractIt is common to refer emotional variables to describe the profile of partner-violent men as well as to include them in treatment programs. This study compares scores on adult attachment, empathy and self-esteem of 90 offenders in prison and a control group from the general population (N = 94). Both samples were assessed with the Adult Attachment Questionnaire, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The offenders were also classified into two clusters to assess the possible existence of a pathological subtype and other similar to the control group. The results show no significant differences between groups. Although the prevailing hypothesis in the academic context has not been confirmed, the results are consistent with recent studies that indicate no differences between aggressors and control groups. The effect of the assessment tools on the results and their usefulness for interventions are discussed.

“…Furthermore, low levels of self-esteem could increase the individual vulnerability to experience negative emotional states, including shame. Accordingly, although the directionality of their association is not clear, several studies have reported a substantial relation between low self-esteem and negative emotions, such as guilt and shame (Garofalo, 2015;Marshall, Marshall, Serran, & O'Brien, 2009). Of note, both self-esteem and negative emotions have been linked to increased aggressive tendencies, yet few studies have empirically tested associations between shame and aggression.…”

“…Remorse is regarded as an essential component of reconciliation that opens the pathway toward acceptance of responsibility and accounting for harm from within as opposed to blaming externals controls (Marshall, Marshall, Serran, & O'Brien, 2009;Tangney, 1991). Studies have shown that remorse develops from feelings of guilt whereby an individual negatively assesses their behavior against a set of standards (Lutwak et al, 2001).…”

The incorporation of restorative justice philosophy and practice has become a fundamental component in the research literature on juvenile justice. The prospect of reducing criminal offending by providing opportunities for offenders to take responsibility and develop genuine remorse for their actions, as well as opportunities for the community to reconcile with the offender and provide greater support for both the perpetrator and victim after crime is promising. Rooted in the ideological principles of restorative justice, the VIP (victim impact panel) is designed to bring offenders face to face with victims of crime in order to develop a better sense of the harm and suffering that criminal behavior causes its victims. The current study explores the effect that participation in a VIP program has on juvenile offenders' perception of their criminal behavior and their development of remorse and empathy towards their victims.
