共情与亲社会行为的关系:情绪调节策略的中介作用
The Relationship between Empathy and Prosocial Behavior: The Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation Strategies
摘要: 研究以情绪维持假说为理论基础,核心分析共情与亲社会行为的因果关系,论述其作用逻辑及约束条件,针对大学生群体的共情能力、情绪调节方式及亲社会行为表现展开调查分析,探究人口学变量的作用规律,探究共情程度、情绪调节模式与亲社会活动的相关性,由此进一步分析情绪调节策略的中介效果。本调研针对成都地区某所大学开展问卷数据收集工作,采用SPSS25.0软件及其Process插件对有效问卷数据进行处理与分析,采用相关分析、中介效应检验等统计方法对数据进行分析处理。相关分析结果表明,认知共情、认知重评与亲社会行为三者间两两均存在显著正相关,而情感共情及表达抑制策略与其他变量的相关均未达到显著水平。随后的中介分析揭示,认知重评是连接认知共情与亲社会行为的重要中介,其部分中介效应占总效应的32.62%。研究通过厘清这些变量间的动态关系,为理解和促进大学生的亲社会行为提供了新的数据支持和干预视角。
Abstract: This study employs the emotional sustainment hypothesis as its theoretical foundation, focusing on analyzing the causal relationship between empathy and prosocial behavior. It examines the operational logic and constraints of this relationship, conducting an investigative analysis of college students’ empathy capacity, emotional regulation methods, and prosocial behavior manifestations. The research explores the patterns of demographic variables, investigates the correlations between empathy levels, emotional regulation patterns, and prosocial activities, and further analyzes the mediating effects of emotional regulation strategies. Questionnaire data were collected from a university in Chengdu. Valid responses were processed and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software with its Process plugin, employing statistical methods including correlation analysis and mediation effect testing. Correlation results revealed significant positive correlations between cognitive empathy, cognitive reappraisal, and prosocial behavior in all pairwise comparisons. Emotional empathy and expression suppression strategies showed no significant correlations with other variables. Subsequent mediation analysis revealed that cognitive reappraisal serves as a key mediator linking cognitive empathy and prosocial behavior, accounting for 32.62% of the total effect. By clarifying these dynamic relationships, this study provides new empirical support and intervention perspectives for understanding and promoting prosocial behavior among college students.
