本研究旨在探討同理心成長團體對同理心的培育效果，在團體成員方面，本研究是以成功大學二十六名大學生為研究對象，將其隨機分派至實驗組與控制組，每組十三人。實驗組成員連續接受每週兩次，每次六小時，共計四次，二十四小時之同理心成長團體的培育；控制組在實驗組接受實驗處理及追蹤測量期間，不接受任何實驗處理。本研究的同理心成長團體採實驗組---控制組等組前後測實驗設計，以同理心成長團體的培育課程為自變項，而以『觀點取替故事同理心量表』為測量工具，進行獨立樣本單因子共變數分析，考驗本研究的研究假設。本研究並針對團體課程之實施、團體中的同理心意義及團體回饋單進行內涵分析。
本研究之主要發現如下：
一、團體成員經由同理心團體課程的培育後，其在表達同理心上達顯著的立即與追蹤輔導效果。
二、團體成員經由同理心團體課程的培育後，其在情感同理心上達顯著的追蹤輔導效果。
最後，根據本研究結果，研究者提出建議，以供未來輔導實務工作及未來研究之參考。
