青少年暴力犯的共情特点及其对罪犯矫治的启示

The Characteristic of Empathy in Juvenile Violent Criminals and Its Implications for the Correction of Offenders

研究考察了暴力犯青少年(214名)、强奸犯青少年(76名)和正常发展青少年(213名)在人际活动指标问卷上的得分差异,并考察了三组青少年的共情得分与年龄的相关关系,分析了上述结果对青少年罪犯矫治的启示。研究结果:(1)暴力犯、强奸犯的共情总分低于正常发展青少年;(2)两组犯罪青少年的共情得分无显著差异;(3)两组犯罪青少年的共情得分与年龄的相关不显著,而正常发展青少年组的共情得分与年龄呈显著正相关;(4)在青少年暴力犯的矫治中,需要根据其低共情特点进行有针对性的提高训练。

The current study measured the Interpersonal Reactive Index of the juvenile violent offender group （n = 214）, juvenile sex offender group （n=76）, and normal development adolescents group （n=213）, and computed the cor- relations between empathy and age of the above-mentioned three groups. We analyzed the implications of results for the correction of adolescent offenders. Results ： （ 1 ） Juvenile violent offenders and sex offenders showed lower empa- thy score than the normal adolescents group; （2） Two juvenile offender groups showed no difference in the total scores of empathy ; （3） The scores of empathy were not correlated with age in the first two juvenile offender groups, whereas, the score of empathy was positively correlated with age in the normal development adolescents group ; （d） In correction, the targeted enhancing training should be considered for the juvenile violent offender with the level of empathy.
