  • The mediating effect of student-teacher relationships for the relationship between empathy and aggression [Elektronski vir] : insights from Slovenia and Croatia
    Kozina, Ana, 1980- ...
    Numerous interventions in the school environment focus on supporting empathy to prevent aggressive behaviour. But when planning interventions inside classrooms one needs to consider the context of ... each specifc classroom, e.g., relationships between students and teachers. Based on the Developmental System Theory and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological System Model, this study examines the mediating efect of the positive and negative student-teacher relationships on the relationship between empathy (cognitive and emotional components) and aggression. We use a randomised sample of 539 students from two countries (Slovenia: N=271, M=12.91 years, 56.3% female; Croatia: N=268, M=13.60 years, 47.4% female). We measure empathy with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, aggression with the AG-UD Aggression Scale and studentteacher-relationships with the Perceived Quality of Student-Teacher Relations measures. The fndings show that empathy plays an important role in aggression, but interestingly, the component is diferent in the two countries. In Slovenia, there is a signifcant negative direct path from the cognitive component of empathy, Perspective taking, to aggression, while in Croatia, there is a similar path, but starting from the emotional component of empathy, Empathic concern. In both countries, Negative student-teacher relationships mediated the relationship between mentioned components of empathy and aggression, thus showing the importance of classroom context, e.g., the relationships with teachers, when addressing empathy and aggression of students in the school context. The practical implication based on our fndings is the prevention of negative student-teacher relationships and the promotion of empathy among students (as well as teachers).
