The association between empathy development and bullying behavior in children and early adolescents

<p>The sample consists of 838 children recruited from 34 third- to fifth-grade classrooms of 11 elementary schools. In the first session all children in each classroom individually completed questionnaires simultaneously on netbook computers. Questionnaires included self- and peer reports about bullying and victimisation, empathy, dehumanisation, moral disengagement and other. For the second session 8 children from each session 1 classroom were selected based on their bullying and victimization scores. Using netbooks, the children completed the measures of Session 1, but this time the items were specified for the target. That is, all measures were adapted so that all participants answered each item seven times, specified for each of the seven other children in their group.</p><p>The data of this dataset will become open access from 01-01-2037.</p>

本数据集的样本包含从11所小学的34个三至五年级班级中招募的838名儿童。在第一测试阶段，每个班级的所有儿童同时使用上网本（netbook）独立完成问卷。问卷涵盖关于欺凌与受害（bullying and victimisation）、共情（empathy）、去人性化（dehumanisation）、道德脱离（moral disengagement）等维度的自我报告与同伴报告。第二测试阶段中，研究人员依据第一测试阶段的欺凌与受害得分，从每个班级中选取8名儿童。这些儿童再次使用上网本完成第一测试阶段的测量工具，但此次题目均针对特定目标对象进行了设定。换言之，所有测量工具均经过适配调整，使得所有参与者需针对组内其余7名儿童各作答一次，即每个题目需完成七次作答。
本数据集的数据将于2037年1月1日起开放获取。
