Summary, etc. This research aimed to investigate possible developmental trajectories of affective<br/>empathy, cognitive empathy, and prosocial behaviors among Filipino preschool children. In<br/>Study 1, the main factors, which were posited to significantly predict cognitive and affective<br/>empathy were: age, gender, and theory-of-mind. For the prosocial behaviors, the same<br/>variables were examined (i.e., age, gender, and theory-of-mind), with the addition of affective<br/>empathy and cognitive empathy. Moderation and mediation effects were also examined. A total<br/>of 223 preschool children, with ages ranging from 3 to 6.6 years old (M=4.34, SD=.63)<br/>participated in Study 1. Each child individually went through different tasks with the researcher.<br/>Theory-of-mind was measured through false-belief task. As for the measure of empathy, each<br/>child watched three short clips with different emotions (i.e., happy, sad, or angry emotion). To<br/>measure affective empathy, their facial expressions were recorded as they watched the clip,<br/>and then scored according to the degree of match between the emotion of the characters in the<br/>clip and the children's facial expressions. To measure cognitive empathy, children were<br/>interviewed regarding the clip that they watched, and their responses were scored according to<br/>their understanding of the emotions of the characters in the clips. Prosocial behaviors were<br/>measured in two ways: the latency by which the child would help in picking up the crayons that<br/>fell on the floor and the degree to which the child would comfort the researcher who hurt herself<br/>with the clipboard. Regression analysis showed that only age and theory-of-mind predicted<br/>cognitive empathy, while none of the aforementioned factors predicted affective empathy. As for<br/>prosocial behaviors, age and gender differences were observed. Also, affective empathy and<br/>cognitive empathy significantly predicted prosocial behaviors. While there was no significant<br/>moderation effect among factors, there was a significant mediation effect, particularly with<br/>cognitive empathy significantly mediating the relation between theory-of-mind and prosocial behaviors.<br/><br/>Study 2 looked into other factors that could predict affective empathy. The same variables<br/>were posited, except that theory-of-mind was replaced with attachment. A total of 87 children<br/>(forming a subset of the 223 children in Study 1), together with their respective mothers<br/>participated. The recorded affective empathy, cognitive empathy and prosocial scores of the<br/>children were again used as source of data. The mothers, on the other hand, completed the<br/>Attachment Q-sort (ASQ) version 3.0 of Walters and Deane (1995), where they had to sort<br/>ninety (90) behavioral descriptions into nine piles from least descriptive to most descriptive.<br/>Results showed that lower dependency attachment predicted affective empathy, but not<br/>cognitive empathy. Age differences were again observed in cognitive empathy, but not in<br/>affective empathy. Also, both affective empathy and cognitive empathy significantly predicted<br/>prosocial behaviors. In addition, secure attachment also directly predicted prosocial behaviors.<br/>As for moderation effects, cognitive empathy moderated the effects of secure attachment on<br/>prosocial behaviors. As for mediation effects, affective empathy significantly mediated the<br/>relation of dependency attachment and prosocial behaviors.<br/><br/>Differences in development between affective empathy and cognitive empathy can be<br/><br/>inferred from the study's finding that each had different predictors, i.e. while age and theory-of-<br/>mind predicted cognitive empathy, lower dependency attachment predicted affective empathy.<br/><br/>The mediation analysis also clarified the linkage between empathy and prosocial behaviors.<br/>With this, a dual-process system could be inferred where on the one hand, theory-of-mind<br/>directly influenced cognitive empathy, which then influenced the display of prosocial behaviors<br/>while on the other hand, lower dependency attachment influenced affective empathy, which<br/>then influenced the display of prosocial behaviors. <br/>
