Abstract

Empathy is crucial to promoting positive intergroup relations; research suggests engaging in restorative practices, autonomy granting, and creativity support empathy development. The current study uses a daily diary to evaluate changes in empathy, creativity, feeling in control/empowered in a small sample (N = 41) of adolescents during a two‐week session of summer camp that centers restorative practices. The results suggest participants increase significantly in emotional empathy, perspective taking, and creativity during their time at camp. The results also suggest that on days participants feel more in control and have expressed more creativity, they report more empathy and perspective taking. These findings provide important evidence using intensive longitudinal data that youth programming that centers restorative practices, autonomy support, and creativity may support empathy development.

促进彻底的移情：以恢复性实践为中心的青少年夏令营在移情和透视方面的变化

移情对于促进积极的群体间关系至关重要；研究表明，参与恢复性实践、给予自主权和创造力有助于移情的发展。在为期两周的以恢复性实践为中心的夏令营活动中，本研究采用每日日记的方式，评估小样本（41 人）青少年在移情、创造力、控制感/授权感方面的变化。结果表明，参加者在夏令营期间的情感共鸣、透视能力和创造力都有明显提高。结果还表明，在参加者感觉更有控制力和表现出更多创造力的日子里，他们会报告出更多的移情和透视能力。这些研究结果利用密集的纵向数据提供了重要的证据，证明以恢复性实践、自主支持和创造力为中心的青少年课程可能有助于移情能力的发展。

A defining focus of the journal is the relationships among theory, research, and practice. Articles address the implications of theory for practice and research directions, how research can better inform practice, and how research can contribute to theory development with important implications for practice. Articles also focus on all aspects of the conflict resolution process and context with primary focus on the behavior, role, and impact of third parties in effectively handling conflict.
