C D Batson,M P Polycarpou,Eddie Harmon-Jones,H J Imhoff,E C Mitchener,L L Bednar,Tricia R. Klein,L Highberger +7 more
TL;DR: Results of 3 experiments suggest that feeling empathy for a member of a stigmatized group can improve attitudes toward the group as a whole and possible limits of the empathy-attitude effect are tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathic joy and the empathy-altruism hypothesis.
TL;DR: Results of none of the experiments patterned as predicted by the empathic-joy hypothesis; instead, results of each were consistent with the empathy-altruism hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
In a very different voice: unmasking moral hypocrisy.
TL;DR: Across 3 small studies, 80 female undergraduates were confronted with the dilemma of deciding whom-themselves or another research participant-to assign to a positive consequences task, leaving the other to do a dull, boring task, suggesting motivation to appear moral yet still benefit oneself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Five studies testing two new egoistic alternatives to the empathy-altruism hypothesis.
TL;DR: The empathy-specific reward hypothesis as discussed by the authors proposes that prosocial motivation associated with feeling empathy for a person in need is directed toward the ultimate goal of benefiting that person, not toward some subtle form of self-benefit.
