contents We present a comprehensive polarization analysis for the process $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow J/ψ\rightarrow$ baryon-antibaryon pairs~$B_{1}\bar{B}_{2}$. All possible helicity amplitudes for $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow J/ψ$ and $J/ψ\rightarrow B_{1} \bar{B}_{2}$ are provided, along with their transformation properties under parity and $CP$ operations. Taking full account of beam polarization, we analyze the polarization of the $J/ψ$ produced in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation and show that all eight independent polarization components can be nonzero. By introducing a polarization transfer matrix, we propose a novel method to compute the polarization transfer in the decay $J/ψ\rightarrow B_{1} \bar{B}_{2}$. Considering both hadronic and radiative baryon decay models, we derive the joint angular distribution of the final-state particles. Focusing on the process $J/ψ\rightarrow Λ\barΣ^{0}$, we provide statistical uncertainty estimates for probing $CP$ violation in associated production of different baryons. This work establishes a complete framework for studying the parity and $CP$ violations present in baryon productions and decays within the helicity formalism.
