“…As expected, ANOVA analyses revealed that women had higher levels of empathy than men but that forgiveness did not differ by gender. This finding confirms findings of previous researchers that showed gender differences in empathy (Batson et al, 1996;Gault & Sabini, 2000;Lennon & Eisenberg, 1987;Macaskill et al, 2002;Schieman & Van Gundy, 2000) but not in forgiveness (Berry et al, 2001;Kalbfleisch, 1997;Macaskill et al, 2002;Worthington et al, 2000). The present results supported Hypothesis 4.…”

“…Also, empirical researchers have found that gender differences in empathy commonly indicate that women have higher levels than do men (Batson et al, 1996;Gault & Sabini, 2000;Lennon & Eisenberg, 1987;Macaskill et al, 2002;Schieman & Van Gundy, 2000). Further, research indicates the possibility that these differences may be the result of motivation rather than ability (Klein & Hodges).…”

Much research has shown that women are more empathic than men. Yet, women and men are equally forgiving. However, it is not clear whether empathy is more important to forgiveness for men or for women. The purpose of the present study was to examine gender differences in levels of empathy and forgiveness and the extent to which the association of empathy and forgiveness differed by gender. Participants were 127 community residents who completed self-report measures of empathy and forgiveness. The present results showed that women were more empathic than men, but no gender difference for forgiveness was apparent. However, the association between empathy and forgiveness did differ by gender. Empathy was associated with forgiveness in men-but not in women.

“…Prior studies have suggested that education fosters a grasp of sophisticated cognitive skills and psychosocial resources necessary to understand the complexities of the self and the emotions of others [Eisenberg and Fabes 1990;Franks et al 1999;Schieman and Gundy 2000]. Furthermore, education is typically associated with income.…”

“…"When seen as resources, both education and income can improve the opportunities and resources that help people relate to the self and to others Skaff 1999], and to manage various forms of emotionality [Schieman 2000]" [cited from Schieman and Gundy 2000: 153]. Schieman and Gundy [2000] found that people with more education and higher household income report higher empathy. Therefore, we hypothesize:…”

In this study, we demonstrate how analysis of users' social network structure-a topic that has remained until recently inconspicuous within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research on social systems-can contribute to our understanding of Social Networking Services (SNS) effect on users. Despite a consensus that SNS enhance people's social capital, prior studies on SNS have provided inconsistent evidence on this process. In a multipronged study, we analyze personality, social capital, and Facebook data from a cohort of participants to model the extent to which one's SNS reflects aspects of his or personality and affects his bridging social capital. Our empirically validated model shows that empathy and conscientiousness influence the structural holes in one's social network, which in turn affects bridging social capital. These findings highlight the importance of network structure as an intermediary between one's personality and the social benefits one reaps from using SNS. Our work demonstrates how the implicit structural information embedded in users' social networks can provide key insights into users' personality and social capital.

“…Así, respecto al sexo, los resultados muestran que los hombres, por lo general, perciben las enfermedades mentales de un modo más negativo que las mujeres, las cuales suelen mostrar menos prejuicios y actos de discriminación (Corrigan & Watson, 2007). Esto podría explicarse por la mayor empatía social de las mujeres (Schieman & Van Gundy, 2000), que suelen mostrarse más abiertas a la integración de estos colectivos, aunque manifiestan, a su vez, más sentimientos negativos como miedo o evitación (EwaldsKvist et al, 2013). En todo caso, estos resultados han sido contradichos por otros estudios (Angermeyer & Dietrich, 2006;Man & Himelein, 2001;Watson, Miller, & Lyons, 2005), de ahí que resulte una cuestión controvertida.…”

RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN:La percepción sobre el estigma hacia las personas con trastornos mentales ha sido ampliamente reportada en la literatura. OBJETIVO: estudiar las actitudes hacia los trastornos mentales en población general y analizar la asociación percibida entre diversos tipos de enfermedad mental y la posible comisión de delitos contra la propiedad, agresiones de tipo sexual y homicidios, entre otros. MÉTODO: participaron 200 personas con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y los 84 años (X= 39.21, DT= 17.37), las que fueron evaluadas con los cuestionarios Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill, CAMI y Creencias sobre la relación entre enfermedad mental y delito. RESULTADOS: Se ha hallado que las mujeres presentan actitudes más positivas de acogida hacia las personas con trastornos mentales y las personas con un nivel de estudios más bajo muestran actitudes más autoritarias hacia este colectivo. Asimismo, se ha hallado que la enfermedad que más se percibe como asociada a la comisión de delito es el trastorno psicótico y las que menos se asociaban con cualquier delito, son la depresión y la ansiedad. CONCLUSIÓN: Se discuten las implicaciones de estos hallazgos en relación a los procesos de estigmatización social. Se aboga por la conveniencia de considerar los trastornos mentales desde una perspectiva más comprehensiva e integral dado que representan entidades ligadas a los procesos de representación social y están determinadas social y culturalmente.
