The Influence Of Ego-depletion, Empathy And Positive Emotion On The Altruism Of Junior High School

Altruistic behavior is a good behavior recognized by the society.In today's social civilization,the development of individual altruistic behavior undoubtedly promotes the progress of our society.A large number of studies have shown that individual altruistic behavior is influenced by altruistic personality,environment and other factors.With the deepening of theoretical research and empirical research on altruistic behavior,it is found that in the past,researchers mostly explained altruistic behavior from the macro perspective of responsibility decentralization,bystander effect,and less from the micro perspective of ego-depletion,personality traits,emotions and so on.Based on this,this study focuses on ego-depletion,from the perspective of empathy and positive emotion,respectively,to explore the mechanism of ego-depletion,empathy,ego-depletion and positive emotion on altruistic behavior.There are two experiments in this study,with junior middle school students from a middle school in Guangdong province as the subjects,to study the altruistic behavior and draw the following conclusions:(1)The results of experiment 1 show that the main effect of egodepletion is significant,individuals with high ego-depletion exhibit less altruistic behavior than those with low ego-depletion;The main effect of empathy is significant,individuals with high empathy are more likely to exhibit altruistic behavior than those with low empathy;At different levels of empathy,the effects of ego-depletion on altruistic behavior have an interactive effect.That is,in the state of high ego-depletion,individuals with high empathy are more likely to exhibit altruistic behavior than those with low empathy.(2)The results of experiment 2 show that in the state of high egodepletion,the subjects who induced positive emotions were more inclined to show altruistic behaviors than those who induced negative emotions.Based on the above findings,the following Suggestions are proposed to promote individual altruistic behavior:(1)promote the generation of altruistic behavior by cultivating students' empathy;(2)promote the generation of altruistic behavior by inducing students' positive emotions.
