Abstract

Bullying is a common issue experienced by adolescents worldwide. This makes it essential to
look into the emotional aspects exhibited by those involved in such acts. Empathy is one such variable
which can possibly promote either pro-bullying or anti-bullying behaviors. Thus, the present study
aims to investigate the relationship between bullying and empathy. For this purpose, a sample
consisting of 614 adolescents of age 12-18 years were drawn from various schools of Jammu, J & K.
The required data was collected using Basic Empathy Scale (Jolliffe and Farrington, 2005) and
Illinois Bully Scale (Espelage and Holt, 2001). The data was analyzed using Pearson product
moment correlation. The results obtained indicate significant negative relationship between
bullying, affective empathy and cognitive empathy.
