Adolescence is a crucial stage of emotional, cognitive, and social development during which self-esteem, self-acceptance, self-confidence, and personal identity are formed. Empathic communication from parents, teachers, and peers contributes to adolescents’ emotional support, sense of acceptance, and development of a positive self-perception. This influence operates through emotional validation, attachment security, emotion regulation, cognitive reappraisal, and the integration of social feedback. Thus, empathic communication can be regarded as a protective factor that strengthens adolescents’ self-esteem, emotional stability, resilience to stress, and psychological well-being.
