Abstract
This study aims to generate empirical evidence regarding the values and experiences of youth in Ireland
towards a range of issues which reflect a sense of social responsibility towards others, including an analysis of
factors that influence the development of social values and empathy. It also aims to review the degree to which
national policy and curriculum supports the promotion of such values.
