La Relación entre Lectura y Empatía: Una Revisión Integradora de la Literatura
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este estudio busca conocer las principales investigaciones entre la relación de la lectura de textos de ficción y la empatía en niños y adolescentes. Mediante una revisión integradora de la literatura científica en las bases de datos SciELO, ERIC y PsycInfo (2009-2020), se analizaron detalladamente 21 artículos que demostró un predominio de estudios de intervención, seguido de estudios de casos y correlacionales. La muestra de investigaciones está constituida predominantemente por estudiantes, aunque algunas también incluyen la percepción de los maestro, padres y tutores. Se identificaron diferentes facetas de la relación entre lectura y empatía, se observaron tanto estudios que enfatizan la contribución de la lectura al desarrollo de la empatía como estudios que muestran la contribución de la empatía al aprendizaje inicial y el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora. La mayor parte de la investigación se realizó en el contexto norteamericano, señalando una brecha en el escenario brasileño.
