Objectives: Based on mirror neurons, we want to know the relationship between the empathy of mothers perceived by male and female adolescents and the adolescent’s own empathy for others.
Methods: 154 copies of the online survey for middle and high school students were conducted with SPSS.
Results: First, male adolescents had a high positive correlation between mother’s empathy and others’ empathy, and emotional understanding had a positive correlation with mother’s empathy regardless of gender. Mother’s age was negatively correlated with male adolescents’ surrogate feelings and female adolescents’ role acceptance. Second, the influence of mother’s empathy perceived by adolescents and demographic characteristics of mothers and children on adolescents’ empathy with others was significant only in understanding emotions and role accepting roles. For all adolescents, mother’s empathy had a positive effect, and mother’s age had a negative effect. As a result of gender classification, only female adolescents had a significant influence.
Conclusion: This suggested that mothers’ empathy for their children should be preceded in order to elicit empathy for others in our society where various issues of youth are an issue.
