The present study examined empathy and socialization in delinquent and nondelinquent juveniles. From 32 first offenders, 16 repeat offenders, and 19 normals who were administered Hogan's empathy scale and the socialization scale of the California Psychological Inventory, groups of 16 subjects matched on age and race were compared. Results indicated that the three groups did not differ on empathy but that each of the three groups differed on socialization. Results are discussed in terms of potentially identifying recidivists and the efficacy of therapist-trained empathy.
本研究考察了违法青少年和非违法青少年的同理心及社交能力。对32名初犯者、16名累犯和19名正常人施测了霍根同理心量表和加利福尼亚心理调查表的社交能力量表，并对按年龄和种族匹配的每组16名受试者进行了比较。结果表明，三组在同理心方面没有差异，但在社交能力方面三组各不相同。从潜在识别累犯和治疗师培养的同理心的有效性方面对结果进行了讨论。
