Abstract(s)
A relação entre empatia dirigida a humanos e empatia dirigida a outros animais tem sido reportada como fraca, sendo pou coconhecidos os fatores que predizem a segunda. Neste estudo, examinaram-se potenciais variáveis preditoras de cada uma destas duas formas de empatia e compararam-se participantes lusófonos e anglo-saxónicos, inspecionando possíveis especificidades culturais. Foi conduzido um inquérito na web que incluiu as versões portuguesa e inglesa de uma escala de empatia para com humanos e de uma escala de empatia para com animais, bem como questões relacionadas com animais de estimação, religião, dieta e participação em ONGs. Atestagem de modelos de regressão múltipla evidenciou o género como preditor da empatia com humanos, mas apenas no grupo lusófono. O sexo feminino e a vivência com animais de estimação foram preditores de empatia para com animais em ambos os grupos; a ligação a ONGs também o foi na população lusófona, enquanto que na anglo-saxónica pesou mais a dieta vegetariana/vegana.
Predictors of empathy towards humans and animals in a Portuguese and English speaking population: While the relation between human directed empathy (HDE) and animal directed empathy (ADE) has been reported as relatively weak, very little is known on factors underpinning the development of the later. We explored predictive models of HDE and ADE regressing the mongender, religion, diet, having pets and belonging to NGO charities,and we also compared portuguese with english speaking people as a proxy of culturally distinct populations. A non line survey was conducted and included portuguese and english versions of measures of HDE and ADE, as well as questions targeted at the predictive variables. Results indicated gender as the single predictor of human directed empathy in the “Portuguese” group where as both gender and having pets predicted empathy towards animals in both groups. NGO affiliation is a predictor of empathy towards animals in the portuguese but not in the english group, where a vegetarian/vegan diet is the strongest predictor.
