Also, the study verify if the self efficacy at the relationship between empathy and altruistic behavior would be the mediating variables. The study finds out the relationships and mediation factors with correlation analysis and structural equation model. The major results are as follows: First, the study shows the positive correlation for the result of analyzing correlation with empathy, which is cognitive and emotional empathy, and self efficacy. Second, it displays the positive correlation for the result of analyzing correlation with self efficacy and altruistic behaviors. Third, the study also shows the positive correlation for the result of analyzing correlation with empathy, cognitive empathy, emotional empathy and altruistic behavior. Fourth, the study verifies the mediation model of self efficacy on the relationship with empathy and altruistic behavior. Also, it demonstrates the mediation model that empathy affects on the self efficacy to altruistic behaviors.
