چکیده

مقدمه: هدف، بررسی روابط ساختاری متغیرهای خودتفسیری مستقل، خودتفسیری وابسته و آشفتگی شخصی با همدلی بود.
روش: روش پژوهش از نظر هدف، بنیادی بود و از لحاظ گردآوری داده‌ها توصیفی از نوع همبستگی، با استفاده از مدل‌یابی معادله ساختاری بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش شامل دانشجویان دختر و پسر مقطع کارشناسی دانشکده روان‌شناسی و علوم تربیتی و دانشکده علوم اجتماعی دانشگاه تهران بود که در سال تحصیلی 1401-1400 مشغول به تحصیل بودند. نمونه پژوهش حاضر را 280 نفر از دانشجویان دانشکده‌های مذکور تشکیل می‌دادند که با روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. شرکت‌کنندگان در پژوهش، پرسشنامه‌های واکنش بین فردی، بهرة همدلی، خودتفسیری و تکالیف شناختی ذهن‌خوانی از طریق چشم و بازشناسی هیجانات چهره را پاسخ دادند. به‌منظور تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از مدل‌یابی معادله ساختاری در نرم‌افزارهای ایموس نسخه 24 و اس‌پی‌اس‌اس نسخه 24 استفاده شد.
نتایج: یافته‌ها نشان داد خودتفسیری مستقل اثر مثبت و معنادار بر همدلی دارد (001/0> P، 349/0 =β)، آشفتگی شخصی اثر منفی و معنادار بر همدلی دارد (001/0> P، 430/0- =β) و خودتفسیری وابسته اثر معنادار بر همدلی ندارد. مدل ساختاری با داده‌های گردآوری‌شده برازش مطلوب داشت.
بحث و نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج حاکی از اهمیت متغیرهای خودتفسیری مستقل و آشفتگی شخصی در حیطة همدلی است و در زمینه مداخلات مربوط به ارتقای همدلی می‌توان نقش آنها را مورد بررسی قرار داد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the structural relationships between independent self-construal, interdependent self-construal, personal distress, and empathy.
Method: The methodology was essential for achieving its purpose. It involved descriptive and correlational data collection, utilizing structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of male and female undergraduate students from the faculties of psychology and social sciences at Tehran University during the 2021-2022 academic year. The sample consisted of 282 students from the faculties mentioned, who were selected using the convenience sampling method. The research participants completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, Empathy Quotient, Self-construal Scale, and cognitive tasks including the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test and the Test of Reading Faces. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS version 24 and SPSS version 24 software.
Results: The study findings indicated that independent self-construal positively and significantly influences empathy (p < .001, β = 0.349), while personal distress negatively and significantly affects empathy (p < .001, β = -0.430). Additionally, interdependent self-construal was found to have no significant effect on empathy. The structural model fit well with the collected data.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results indicate the significance of the independent self-construal variable and personal distress variable in the realm of empathy. Their roles can be further explored in the context of enhancing empathy.
