The look of writing in reading. Graphetic empathy in making and perceiving graphic traces
2021
This article presents preliminary considerations and results from a research project designed to investigate the relation between (i) gestures, (ii) graphic traces and (iii) perceptions. More specifically, the project aims to test the hypothesis that graphic traces, including handwriting, can set up graphetic empathy between writers and readers of traces across long temporal and spatial distances. Insofar as a graphic trace is lawfully related to the gesture by which it came into being, the trace itself will hold information about the gesture, which may resonate with the sensorimotor system of a perceiver as if they themselves performed the gesture. If this is in fact so, it will have impor…
Relació entre esports d’equip i empatia en l’adolescència
2018
L’empatia és la capacitat de posar-se en el lloc d’un altre individu i interpretar la realitat des del seu punt de vista. Aquest estudi es va centrar a analitzar les diferències existents entre practicants d’esports d’equip i esports individuals i entre homes i dones en empatia. La mostra va estar composta per 97 adolescents federats més d’un any, dels quals 43 eren dones i 54 eren homes. 25 practicaven esport individual i 72 algun esport d’equip. Els resultats obtinguts en l’escala d’empatia de Baron-Cohen –EQ–, han mostrat que els practicants d’esports d’equip són més empàtics que els d’esports individuals, i que les dones ho són més que els homes. No obstant això, seria convenient realit…
Multilingualism and Ethnic Prejudice
2021
Abstract. This study explored the relationship between the ability to talk to others in more than one language and ethnic prejudice, considering the quality and quantity of intergroup contact. A structural equation model analysis was carried out on a sample of 631 Italian citizens. The results showed that multilingualism led to an increase of acceptance of intergroup differences and positive attitudes toward Moroccans and that the quality (but not quantity) of intergroup contact-mediated those relationships. The mediating role of the quality of intergroup contact extends previous results on the relationship between multilingualism and positive attitudes toward ethnic out-groups. These find…
Diferències de sexe i edat en la disposició empàtica dels estudiants de secundària
2010
Aquest treball presenta una aproximació a l'estudi de l'empatia i de les variables que influeixen en el seu desenvolupament. L'objectiu principal és determinar en quina mesura influeixen la variable de sexe i la variable d'edat en la disposició empàtica dels adolescents. L'estudi es realitza amb una mostra d'estudiants de secundària (n = 114), homes i dones. Els resultats indiquen que les dues variables analitzades (sexe i edat) tenen un efecte significatiu sobre l'empatia. Les dones es mostren més empàtiques que els homes en totes les dimensions que mesura l'escala IRI. A mesura que avancen en edat, els adolescents mostren una major capacitat per a posar-se en el lloc de l'altre i comprend…
Improvements in Empathy and Cognitive Flexibility after Court-Mandated Intervention Program in Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators: The Role of Al…
2016
Research assessing the effectiveness of intervention programs for intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators has increased considerably in recent years. However, most of it has been focused on the analysis of psychological domains, neglecting neuropsychological variables and the effects of alcohol consumption on these variables. This study evaluated potential neuropsychological changes (emotional decoding, perspective taking, emotional empathy and cognitive flexibility) and their relationship with alcohol consumption in a mandatory intervention program for IPV perpetrators, as well as how these variables affect the risk of IPV recidivism. The sample was composed of 116 individuals with hi…
Cognitive and emotional empathy in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A replication and extension study.
2019
Impairments of social cognition are defined as core features in the pathology of schizophrenia. In a study by Lehmann and colleagues (2014), patients with schizophrenia have been shown to demonstrate a diminished capacity to understand others' emotions (i.e. cognitive empathy), but a preserved ability to share or feel the emotional states of others (i.e. emotional empathy). Here, we report on an independent replication study investigating cognitive and emotional empathy in 35 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and a matched control group, which 1) confirms that patients demonstrate preserved emotional empathy in self-report and behavioural measurements, and 2) reveals associatio…
Trait Empathy associated with Agreeableness and rhythmic entrainment in a spontaneous movement to music task: Preliminary exploratory investigations
2017
The simulation theory of empathy suggests that we use motor processing to empathise, through modelling the actions of others. Similarly, research into embodied music cognition posits that music, particularly musical rhythm, is perceived as a motor stimulus. In both cases, the human Mirror Neuron System (MNS) is put forward as a potential underlying mechanism. If this is the case, some overlap may exist between the ability to empathise with others, and the ability to perceive rhythm in music. The present study investigated this relationship indirectly, through the study of individual differences in Trait Empathy and rhythmic entrainment. Undergraduate students ( N = 237) completed a questio…
Empātijas Skalas sākotnējā adaptācija pieaugušo izlasē Latvijā
2017
Pētījuma mērķis bija adaptēt Latvijā Empātijas Skalu (Basic Empathy Scale (BES), Jolliffe & Faringhton, 2006) un veikt tās ticamības un validitātes pārbaudi. Empātija ir spēja saprast un izjust citu emocijas (Jolliffe & Faringhton, 2006) un empātijas koncepts sastāv no 2 komponentēm - kognitīvās un emocionālās empātijas, kur emocionālā empātija ir spēja just un atbilstoši emocionāli reaģēt, saskaroties ar citas personas emocionālo noskaņojumu (Bryant, 1982, kā minēts Jolliffe & Faringhton, 2006), bet kognitīvā empātija ir spēja saprast citas personas emocionālo stāvokli (Hogan, 1969). BES aptauja novērtē kopējo empātijas līmeni un tās atsevišķās dimensijas – kognitīvo un emocionālo empātija…
Mirror neurons : physiological requirement for emotional empathy and social and moral behaviour of human and nonhuman primates
2018
Fil: Claramonte Sanz, Vicente. Universitat de València. Departament de Filosofia. Área de Lògica i Filosofia de la Ciència; España. Claramonte Sanz, V. (2018). Las neuronas espejo: presupuesto fisiológico de la empatía emocional y de las conductas sociales y morales en primates humanos y no humanos. Metatheoria, 8(2), 15-22. A partir de la evidencia científica y los análisis debidos a los estudios de investigadores como Rizzolatti, Sinigaglia, Galle-se, Goldman, Iacoboni, etc., este artículo argumenta que el vínculo entre neuronas espejo y empatía emocional resulta corroborado por los estudios de Neurociencia sobre la actividad perceptiva y las reacciones emocionales. En particular, con las…
Is School Adjustment Related to Environmental Empathy and Connectedness to Nature?
2019
espanolLa empatia ambiental y la conexion con la naturaleza son dos constructos relevantes para explicar las variaciones en el comportamiento proambiental. Sin embargo, poco se sabe acerca de si la empatia ambiental (cognitiva y emocional) y la conexion con la naturaleza pueden variar en funcion del ajuste escolar. Los participantes fueron 881 adolescentes espanoles de 12 a 17 anos (47.2% hombres). El diseno fue un MANOVA 2 × 2 (ajuste escolar × sexo). Los resultados del analisis de CFA confirmaron los supuestos teoricos sobre dos dimensiones diferentes pero relacionadas de la empatia ambiental (cognitiva y emocional) y la conectividad con la naturaleza como un constructo unidimensional. En…
