| Population | Vocational high school (SMK) students in Yogyakarta |
| Measures | Empathy Quotient (EQ-40), Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM) |

| Key findings | Empathy showed a significant negative correlation with all mindfulness aspects: awareness (r = –.686), attention (r = –.620), nonjudgmentally (r = –.821), and overall mindfulness (r = –.212). The authors propose that high empathy may be linked to lower mindfulness through empathic distress. |
Abstract
Masa remaja merupakan fase penting dalam pembentukan identitas diri, di mana kemampuan mengelola pengalaman internal dan respons emosional menjadi krusial. Mindfulness berperan dalam menjaga keseimbangan emosi dan kualitas hubungan interpersonal, sedangkan empati menjadi dasar interaksi sosial yang sehat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara empati dan mindfulness pada siswa SMK di Yogyakarta. Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional, penelitian melibatkan 147 siswa yang dipilih melalui random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Empathy Quotient (EQ-40) dan Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM) yang telah teruji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Hasil analisis Pearson Product Moment menunjukkan hubungan negatif signifikan antara empati dan seluruh aspek mindfulness, yaitu awareness (r = –.686, p < .01), attention (r = –.620, p < .01), nonjudgmentally (r = –.821, p < .01), serta mindfulness secara keseluruhan (r = –.212, p < .05). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa empati yang tinggi dapat berkaitan dengan rendahnya mindfulness akibat empathic distress, sehingga menegaskan pentingnya penguatan regulasi emosi dan keterampilan mindfulness agar empati tetap berkembang secara adaptif pada remaja.
