The Effect of Social Exclusion and Empathy on Altruistic Behavior of Junior High School Students

Experiment 1 selected 43 middle school students to participate in the experiment, and explored the impact of social exclusion on explicit and implicit altruism among middle school students through a single factor (social exclusion operation type: exclusion/acceptance) inter subject design. Experiment 2 selected 93 middle school students to participate in the experiment and randomly assigned them to either the rejection group or the acceptance group.

Using a two factor inter subject design of 2 (social exclusion operation type: exclusion/acceptance) x 2 (empathy: high empathy/low empathy), this study explores the effects of social exclusion and empathy on the explicit and implicit altruism of middle school students. In Experiment 1, each row represents the data of a subject. In the rejection/acceptance column, 1 represents acceptance, 2 represents rejection, and in the gender column, 1 represents male and 2 represents female. xq1-14 represents the scores of 14 questions in the exclusion manipulation questionnaire. In Experiment 2, each row represents the data of a subject.
