To investigate the effects of pet rearing experience to the development of empathy, 221 (120 male and 101 female) elementary school students in the fifth and sixth grade submitted a questionnaire. The subjects were divided into those with experience and those without experience. Those with experience were subdivided according to types of pets. Using the ESC20 scale or ESC18 scale based on the Empathy Scale for Children constructed by Sakurai (1986) the scores of empathy were as follows. First the empathy scores of male elementary school students who experienced pet rearing were higher than those without experience. Second the empathy scores of male elementary school students who experienced rearing dogs or hamsters were higher than those without experience. Therefore it was suggested that experiencing pet rearing had positive effects on the development of empathy in male elementary school students.
