The main objective was to analyze gender differences and the relationship between empathy, emotional self-efficacy, and prosocial trends in adolescents who have lived psychosocial vulnerability situations, located in a protection institution in Manizales and three municipalities in Caldas (Colombia). The methodology used was a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional design, descriptive-correlational scope. The sample was non-probabilistic by availability, composed of 69 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 years old. The instruments used were the revised version of the Prosocial Tendencies Scale (PTM-R), the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), and the Self-efficacy Scale for Emotional Regulation (RESE). As result, the empirical model showed that the expression of positive emotions and the handling of negative emotions require the mediating role of empathy, in its two components, cognitive and emotional, to explain prosocial motivations in adolescents. In conclusion, it is necessary to articulate the research, as well as a psychosocial and educational intervention in the study and stimulation of prosociality, along with positively associated factors in populations that have lived experiences of a psychosocial violation.
