Abstract

To investigate the impact of empathy on prosocial behavior and the underlying psychological mechanisms among college students, this study surveyed 840 participants using the Empathy Scale, the Prosocial behavior Scale, the Moral Identity Scale, and the Sense of Security Scale. The results revealed that (1) empathy significantly and positively predicted prosocial behavior among college students; (2) moral identity partially mediated the relationship between empathy and prosocial behavior; (3) a sense of security moderated the relationship between moral identity and prosocial behavior. These findings offer important theoretical and practical implications, enriching the theoretical framework and providing educators and students with valuable guidance.

移情对大学生亲社会行为的影响:道德认同的中介作用和安全感的调节作用
为了研究移情对大学生亲社会行为的影响及其背后的心理机制,本研究使用移情量表、亲社会行为量表、道德认同量表和安全感量表对 840 名参与者进行了调查。结果显示:(1)移情对大学生的亲社会行为有显著的正向预测作用;(2)道德认同对移情与亲社会行为之间的关系有部分中介作用;(3)安全感对道德认同与亲社会行为之间的关系有调节作用。这些发现具有重要的理论和实践意义,丰富了理论框架,为教育工作者和学生提供了宝贵的指导。
