OBJECTIVES
To examine the levels of social competence and empathic behavior in children with cochlear implants in comparison with normal-hearing children, and to determine whether empathy predicts social competence to the same extent in both groups of children.
STUDY DESIGN
Retrospective cohort study.
METHODS
A total of 150 children (mean age 39 months) participated in the study; 61 with cochlear implants and 89 without hearing loss. Parent reports and observation measures were employed to measure empathy and social competence.
RESULTS
Levels of empathy and social competence in children with cochlear implants and normal-hearing children were similar. Empathic behaviors were predictive of social competence in both groups alike. Emotion acknowledgment was more predictive of social competence for children with cochlear implants than for normal-hearing children. Language skills were unrelated to social competence or empathic behaviors in children with cochlear implants.
CONCLUSIONS
Children with cochlear implants showed no delay concerning social competence or empathic behavior. The factors contributing to social competence, however, differed between the groups. This should be kept in mind when developing rehabilitation programs for children with cochlear implants.
目的
比较人工耳蜗植入儿童与正常听力儿童的社会能力和同理心行为水平，并确定同理心是否在两组儿童中对社会能力的预测程度相同。
研究设计
回顾性队列研究。
方法
共有 150 名儿童（平均年龄 39 个月）参与了研究；其中 61 名儿童植入了人工耳蜗，89 名儿童听力正常。采用父母报告和观察测量来评估同理心和社会能力。
结果
人工耳蜗植入儿童和听力正常儿童的同理心和社会能力水平相似。同理心行为对两组儿童的社会能力都具有预测作用。情绪认知对植入人工耳蜗儿童的社会能力预测作用强于对听力正常儿童的预测作用。语言技能与植入人工耳蜗儿童的社会能力或同理心行为无关。
结论
人工耳蜗植入儿童在社会能力或同理心行为方面没有表现出延迟。然而，促成社会能力的因素在两组儿童中有所不同。在为植入人工耳蜗的儿童制定康复计划时应考虑到这一点。
