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.
