- W56557364 abstract "In previous research, children's empathy has been positively related to guilt and unrelated to shame. In the present study, it was predicted that guilt and empathy would have a curvilinear relationship, while shame and empathy were expected to be inversely related. Participating were 115 children: somewhat less than half were ages 8-9 years, while the remainder were 11-12 years old. Children completed the Test of Self-Conscious Affect--Children's Version (Tangney, Wagner, Burggraf, Gramzow, and Fletcher, 1990) and the Empathy Continuum (Strayer, 1993). Results were found to be conditional upon children's age and sex. Guilt and empathy were negat-_,,'efy related in younger boys; in all other groups guilt and empathy were positively related. Shame and empathy were negatively related in younger girls, and positively related in all other groups. Results suggested that guilt and shame undergo notable change in middle childhood.

Method Subjects: 24 8-9 year old boys (M=107.1 months) 24 8-9 year old girls (M=107.1 months) 38 11-12 year old boys (M=145.9 months) 25 11-12 year old girls (M=141.9 months) Measures: 1) The Test of Self-Conscious Affect Children's Version (Tangney, Wagner, Burggraf, Gramzow, & Fletcher, 1990) 2) The Empathy Continuum (Strayer, 1993) Results Summary of Correlations between Guilt, Shame, and Empathy in the 4 Age X Gender Groups.

Therefore, exploratory analyses, using principal components analytic procedures, were conducted in order to explore the relationships among the variables within Age X Gender groups. The results BEST COPY AVAILABLE 5 of these principal component analyses, illustrating the relationships among the variables in each of the Age X Gender groups, can seen in Figures One through to Four. Additionally, as has been seen in previous research using the TOSCA-C, guilt and shame scores showed significant, positive correlations overall, and within Age (younger, older) and Gender (boys, girls) groups." @default.
