Abstract

The study seeks to ascertain the effects of training techniques of empathic responding on conflict reduction among secondary school adolescents. The training technique is Lessons on Empathic Responding and Perception (LERP). Gender was examined as a moderating variable on the effects of the treatment. The study was delimited to senior secondary school II students in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State. The study adopts the quasi experimental design. Three research questions were raised and answered. The sample for the study consisted of forty students (20 males and 20 females) who were screened using the conflict prone instrument (CPI) and assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was exposed to an eight week training programme, while the control group received life skills lessons that were not related to empathy. Davisâ Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and the conflict prone instrument (CPI) were used to measure empathy and adolescents proneness to conflict. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data collected. Mean gained and loss formed the basis for acceptance or rejection of the researcher questions. The major findings include: LERP was significantly effective in improving studentsâ empathy; Post test empathy mean scores as measured by IRI of adolescents exposed to the treatment significantly increased; there was a mean loss in the post test conflict mean scores of adolescents exposed to treatment. There was also no significant interaction effect between gender and treatment. Based on the results and educational implications of the findings, it was recommended among others that LERP should be used as secondary school-based programmes for the development of empathy and its related skills in adolescent in order to foster the reduction of adolescentsâ conflict in secondary schools.
