Abstract

Prior research has found a relationship between parenting and empathy in children. The current study surveyed 470 college-attending emerging adults regarding their parental environment, empathy, and psychopathology to measure relations among empathy, parent-child relationship, and internalizing/externalizing problems. Various direct and indirect effects were found between the variables.
