The Effect of Social Exclusion and Empathy on Altruistic Behavior of Junior High School Students

Experiment 1 selected 43 middle school students to participate in the experiment, and explored the impact of social exclusion on explicit and implicit altruism among middle school students through a single factor (social exclusion operation type: exclusion/acceptance) inter subject design. Experiment 2 selected 93 middle school students to participate in the experiment and randomly assigned them to either the rejection group or the acceptance group. Using a two factor inter subject design of 2 (social exclusion operation type: exclusion/acceptance) x 2 (empathy: high empathy/low empathy), this study explores the effects of social exclusion and empathy on the explicit and implicit altruism of middle school students.
