In order to explore the influence mechanism of family environment on the prosocial behavior tendency of college students and the chain mediating role of empathy and moral sensitivity in this relationship.
A survey was conducted on 451 college students using the Family Adaptability and Cohesion scales, the Dispositional Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, the Prosocial Tendencies Measure and the Chinese Version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C.
The results showed that empathy and moral sensitivity significantly mediate the effect of family environment on college students' prosocial behavior tendency. This is manifested in three mediation paths: the mediating role of empathy (with 28.57% of the mediating effect), the mediating role of moral sensitivity (with 61.90% of the mediating effect), and the chain mediating role of empathy and moral sensitivity (with 9.53% of the mediating effect).
The study reveals the mechanism by which family environment affects college students' prosocial behavior, which provides some theoretical guidance and practical inspiration for cultivating college students' prosocial behavior.
探讨家庭环境对大学生亲社会行为倾向的影响机制以及共情和道德敏感性在该关系中的链式中介作用。
采用家庭亲密度和适应性量表、特质道德敏感性问卷、亲社会倾向量表和中文版人际反应指针量表-C对451名大学生进行调查。
结果表明，共情和道德敏感性在家庭环境对大学生亲社会行为倾向的影响中起显著中介作用。这体现在三条中介路径上：共情的中介作用（中介效应为28.57%）、道德敏感性的中介作用（中介效应为61.90%）以及共情和道德敏感性的链式中介作用（中介效应为9.53%）。
该研究揭示了家庭环境影响大学生亲社会行为的机制，为培养大学生亲社会行为提供了一定的理论指导和实践启示。
