Resumo: Empathy is an emotional response that resembles the emotion felt by the other. Low empathy impact social relationships, correlating with emotional and behavioral problems. The present study aimed to compare groups of children with and without clinical tests of internal and external problems and syndromic scales related to empathy. 106 children enrolled from first to third degrees of elementary school participated. They answered a scale about empathy; their caregivers completed the Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire and the Child Behavior Checklist – CBCL. Comparison tests (t-student and Mann-Whitney) indicate that children with external problems have a higher average of global empathy and concern for others (affective empathy). Children with conduct problems exhibited higher levels of emotional involvement (affective empathy), as well as the children with internal problems. Results suggests that high levels of affective empathy may increase vulnerability to the development of emotional and behavioral problems in this period of child development.

Los bajos niveles de empatía tienen un impacto en las relaciones sociales, asociadas con problemas emocionales y de comportamiento. El objetivo fue comparar grupos de niños con y sin indicadores clínicos de problemas de internalización, externalización y escalas sindrómicas relacionadas con la empatía. 106 niños matriculados en los años 1º a 3º de primaria respondieron a la Escala de Empatía Infantil-Juvenil; también participaron sus tutores, quienes completaron el Cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos y el Inventario de comportamiento de niños y adolescentes. Las pruebas de comparación (t-student y Mann-Whitney) indicaron que los niños con problemas de externalización tenían un mayor nivel de preocupación entre ellos. Los niños con comportamientos desviados y síntomas de internalización exhibieron tasas más altas de participación emocional entre ellos. Los resultados sugieren que los altos niveles de empatía afectiva pueden aumentar la vulnerabilidad al desarrollo de problemas emocionales y de comportamiento en este período de desarrollo infantil.Empatia é uma resposta emocional que se assemelha à emoção sentida pelo outro. Baixos níveis de empatia repercutem nas relações sociais, associando-se a problemas emocionais e de comportamento. Objetivou-se comparar grupos de crianças com e sem indicadores clínicos de problemas internalizantes, externalizantes e escalas sindrômicas relacionadas quanto a empatia. Participaram do estudo 106 crianças matriculadas do 1° ao 3° anos do ensino fundamental e seus responsáveis, que responderam aos instrumentos: Escala de Empatia Infanto-juvenil, Questionário de Dados Sociodemográficos e Inventário dos Comportamentos de Crianças e Adolescentes. Testes de comparação (t-student e Mann-Whitney) indicaram que crianças com problemas externalizantes apresentaram maior média de preocupação com o outro. Crianças com comportamentos de quebrar as regras e sintomas internalizantes exibiram índices mais altos de envolvimento emocional com o outro. Os resultados sugerem que altos níveis de empatia afetiva podem aumentar a vulnerabilidade ao desenvolvimento de problemas emocionais e de comportamento neste período de desenvolvimento da criança.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2021-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/eip/article/view/4053810.5433/2236-6407.2021v12n3p119Estudos Interdisciplinares em Psicologia; v. 12 n. 3 (2021); 119-1362236-6407reponame:Estudos Interdisciplinares em Psicologiainstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/eip/article/view/40538/31127Copyright (c) 2022 Estudos Interdisciplinares em Psicologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, Bruna MattosVieira, Breno SanvicenteMarin, Angela Helena2022-11-23T13:32:24Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/40538Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/eipPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/eip/oai||revistaeip@uel.br2236-64072236-6407opendoar:2022-11-23T13:32:24Estudos Interdisciplinares em Psicologia - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
