Investigation of the Effect of Emotion and Empathy Skills Training Program Applied to Parents
Journal Title: Sports, Education and Child - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Emotional literacy is a skill that can be learned and taught. The ability to express and understand emotions through facial expressions is acquired from an early age. Studies have shown that emotion trainings given to families improve children's emotional skills. In this direction, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of emotion trainings given to families on parents' ability to express their emotions and empathy skills. METHODS: The research design used in this study was a quasi-experimental pre-posttest design without a control group. It was applied on 18 parents with children in primary school using purposive sampling technique. "General Information Form" was used to determine some demographic characteristics of the participants. "Scale for Expressing Emotions" and "Scale for Determining Empathy Level" were used to test the effectiveness of the applications of the study. RESULTS: When the results obtained were analyzed, it was seen that the education they attended did not affect the closeness dimension of the parents' ability to express their emotions and the emotional response dimension of their empathy levels (p>0.05). However, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in positive, negative and total scores in expressing emotions, and in cognitive empathy, social skills and empathy total score in empathy levels (p<0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: As with other types of emotion socialization, parents' emotion expression has been associated with children's socio-emotional outcomes, including emotion regulation. Therefore, through this study, parents may have direct effects on their children's emotion regulation and emotion skills. In this study, it was observed that parents' empathy levels increased. Therefore, providing empathy trainings may have an impact on parents and thus on their children. This is because research has suggested that the degree of caregiver-child interaction is a strong predictor of subsequent development as it reflects the sum of these multiple and interdependent influences on development.
