The Journal of Humanistic Education and Development, v22 n2 p70-79 Dec 1983

Compared two models for developing empathy in 96 emotionally disturbed children. Three areas were examined: help-giving behavior, self control, and responsibility. Behavior observation revealed that children in classrooms operating under the Humanistic/Psychoeducational Model were significantly more empathic than those in Behavioral/Learning Model classrooms.
