Assistant Professor Alison Jane Martingano publishes in Social Psychological and Personality Science

A recent study co-authored by UWGB Assistant Professor Alison Jane Martingano brings encouraging news about the youth of today: empathy among American college students is on the rise! The research reveals a positive trend: since 2008-2009, there’s been an upswing in the ability of college freshmen to put themselves in others’ shoes and in their feelings of compassion and concern for others.

This heartening update should be a source of comfort to parents, educators, and anyone invested in the development of our youth. It’s a strong indicator that today’s students are emotionally attuned and socially conscious.
