- Abstract
Modeling techniques are interesting to study in the context of behaviors. Both positive and negative behaviors can inspire people who observe the models to imitate their behaviors. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the modeling technique on the increased empathy and prosocial behaviors of students in junior high school. The quantitative approach was employed in this study with a quasi-experiment design using the non-equivalent control group design. The participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The characteristics of participants of the study were the students experiencing low empathy and low prosocial behaviors. Based on the assessment, 6 students were recruited for the experimental group and 6 students for the control group. The empathy scale and the prosocial behavior scale were distributed for collecting the data. The Wilcoxon and the Mann Whitney test were conducted for data analysis and the Alpha Cronbach were calculated for a reliability check. The results showed that the modeling technique applied in a counseling group was effective in increasing students’ empathy and prosocial behaviors. A Mann-Whitney test indicated that there was a significant difference in students’ empathy with scores z = 0.004, p < .05 as well as students’ prosocial behavior with scores z = 0.004, p < .05.
