摘要
应用元分析技术考察共情与性别之间的关系及影响该关系的调节变量。通过文献检索与筛查,最终获得了175项研究和186个独立效应量,共包含179546名被试。异质性检验表明应该选取随机效应模型,发表偏差检验表明元分析的结果不受发表偏差的影响。通过随机效应模型得到的主效应结果显示,共情总分与性别呈相关关系,女性的共情得分高于男性(r=-0.23,p<0.001)。调节效应分析表明,测量工具会影响共情总分(Q_b=87.18,p<0.001)与性别的关系,被试发展阶段会影响共情总分(Q_b=36.80,p<0.001)、情绪共情(Q_b=21.04,p<0.001)与性别的关系。具体而言,共情概念偏向情绪方面的问卷更容易出现性别差异,例如Bryant以及Baron-Cohen所编制的共情问卷;从发展阶段来看,在学前期无论是共情总分,还是认知共情或情绪共情都不存在显著的性别差异,青春期个体的共情总分、情绪共情得分与性别之间的关系最强。
The present research conducted a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between empathy and gender,and the factors affecting this relationship. Through literature retrieval,175 cases and 186 independent effect sizes together with 179546 participants which met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis were selected. Heterogeneity test indicated that the random effects model was appropriate for the meta-analysis. The result of funnel plot and fail-safe number illustrated that there was no publication bias. Main-effect test findings demonstrated that empathy was significantly associated with gender（ r =-0. 23,p 0. 001）. The moderator analysis revealed that empathy measurement tools moderated the relationship between empathy and gender（ Q_b= 87. 18,p 0. 001）,participants＇ age moderated the relationship between empathy（ Q_b= 36. 80,p 0. 001）,emotional empathy（ Q_b= 21. 04,p 0. 001） and gender. For example,the questionnaire which mainly measures person＇s affective empathy would be easier to show gender difference,and preschool age won＇t show difference in empathy or cognitive empathy and affective empathy,and puberty would be the most salient period in the relationship between empathy,emotional empathy and gender.
