This article details the development and implementation of empathy-building movement exercises in service of our creative process for Project Highway HabitUS. We outline the creative research that ...guided our project, how the movement exercises were developed, and how they can be modified for use in a variety of learning environments.
This study examined a professional development program aimed at supporting Jewish civics teachers in their efforts to promote empathy among their students toward Israeli Arabs. Previous results ...indicated an increase in outgroup empathy among teachers who watched and reflected upon clips from a television sitcom. This article focuses on skills teachers developed and strategies they designed and implemented following their experience with empathy processes. Our findings underscore the educative potential of indirect mediated contact in segregated societies, and the importance of developing empathic processes among teachers before they embark on the challenge of supporting their students in such endeavors.

The inconsistent definition of empathy has had a negative impact on both research and practice. The aim of this article is to review and critically appraise a range of definitions of empathy and, ...through considered analysis, to develop a new conceptualisation. From the examination of 43 discrete definitions, 8 themes relating to the nature of empathy emerged: “distinguishing empathy from other concepts”; “cognitive or affective?”; “congruent or incongruent?”; “subject to other stimuli?”; “self/other distinction or merging?”; “trait or state influences?”; “has a behavioural outcome?”; and “automatic or controlled?” The relevance and validity of each theme is assessed and a new conceptualisation of empathy is offered. The benefits of employing a more consistent and complete definition of empathy are discussed.
The scholarship is based on extensive archival research, careful reconstructions using documentary evidence, cautious judgments, and an empathy for his subject. The Ricordo, a collection of his ...teachings with a final section denouncing Savonarola as a false prophet, became the target of an Venetian inquisitorial process in Padua in 1501-02, with the imprisonment of his disciple Giovanni Maria Capucci, a defense of hm by Antonio Trombetta, OFM, an absolution by Cardinal Bernardino López de Carvajal, and an order of release from Julius II. ...of his reseach the enigmatc figure of Gabriele Biondo is less obscure and one can understand why he gathered around himself a group of disciple seeking a deeper experience of God, while remaining within the institutional Church.
Hospitalists have a unique opportunity to provide a compassionate environment for patients and families who are facing fear and uncertainty. Recently, I was able to experience hospitalization from ...the other side of the hospital bed. In this short article, I share a few lessons I learned from my own experience and recent experiences with my father and daughter.
Objetivo. Comparar la dimensión de cognición social de la Teoría de la Mente (ToM, por sus siglas en inglés) y la empatia entre deportistas y no deportistas. Método. Se ejecutó un diseño transversal ...con muestreo intencional, en el que 46 deportistas (Medad = 18.2, DE = 4.5) y 48 no deportistas (Medad= 20.2, DE = 3.5) completaron la Tarea de Empatia por el Dolor y el Test de las Miradas. Resultados.No se hallaron diferencias en la ToM, t(92) = 1.21, p = 0.228, d = 0.25. El Anova factorial mixto 3x2 indicó que el comportamiento de empatia es homogéneo por las condiciones (neutral, accidental e intencional) y grupos (deportistas vs no deportistas), F(2, 92) = 0.127, p = 0.881, np2 = 0.001. Sin embargo, la comparación de medias mostró diferencias favorables para deportistas en la condición de estímulos neutrales (p < 0.05). Conclusión. No hay variabilidad de la ToM, ni en las condiciones de accidentalidad e intencionalidad en el aspecto empático; mientras que en estímulos neutrales, el promedio difiere favorablemente para los deportistas.
Empathy is sometimes a surprisingly evasive emotion. It is in appearance the emotion responsible for stitching together a shared experience with our common fellow. This volume looks for the common ...ground between the results of Digital Media ideas on the subject, fields like Nursing or Health and Social Care, Psychiatry, Psychology, and Philosophy, and finally even in Education, Literature and Dramatic Performance.
Summary
Empathy, a multidimensional construct comprised of cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions, has been advanced as a critical predictor of prosocial behavior and effectiveness in the ...workplace. However, despite organizational interest in empathy, there is a lack of consensus on what empathy is, how empathy should be measured, and how empathy research can meaningfully contribute to our understanding of organizational behavior. This paper aims to provide a roadmap for researchers and practitioners interested in empathy in the workplace. We first provide an updated overview of the state of the broader multidisciplinary literature on empathy. On the basis of this literature, we outline the three dimensions of empathy, discuss the distinctions between state/trait and observer/judged empathy, and compare empathy with related constructs. This integrated multidimensional conceptualization provides the basis for our critical review and recommendations. We review the organizational research on empathy (1983–2018), identifying critical issues with how empathy has been conceptualized, measured, and designed, and offer practical recommendations for the advancement of organizational research on empathy. We conclude by highlighting two fundamental questions: (a) is empathy associated with important outcomes of interest to organizations and employees, and (b) can empathy be changed, and if so, how?
El objetivo del presente estudio fue examinar la invarianza de medición y la invarianza estructural de una medida de empatía, para niños y adolescentes peruanos. Los participantes fueron 417, ...provenientes de Lima Metropolitana. Se aplicó la Escala Básica de Empatía Breve (BES-B) de manera estandarizada. El análisis consistió en aplicar el modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales para evaluar la invarianza de medición y las medias latentes en los constructos de empatía afectiva y cognitiva. Los resultados muestran que la invarianza de medición se mantiene satisfactoriamente de acuerdo al género y la edad; las diferencias en las medias latentes muestran ser entre fuertes o moderadas respecto a la edad y el sexo. Se discuten las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas. The objective of this study was to examine the measurement and structural invariance of an empathy scale in Peruvian children and adolescents. 417 participants from Metropolitan Lima took part in the study. The Brief Basic Empathy Scale (BES-B) was applied in a standardized manner. Structural equations modeling was applied in the analysis in order to assess measurement invariance and latent means in affective and cognitive empathy. Results show that measurement invariance is maintained according to sex and age; the differences in the latent means are either strong or moderate with respect to age and sex. The article discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the findings. O objetivo do presente estudo foi examinar a invariância Medição e estrutural de uma medida de empatia para crianças e adolescentes peruanos. Os participantes eram 417, da Lima Metropolitana. A Escala Básica de Breve Empatia (BES-B) foi aplicada de forma padronizada. A análise consistiu em aplicar a modelagem de equações estruturais para avaliar a invariância de medição e as médias latentes nas construções de empatia afetiva e cognitiva. Os resultados mostram que a invariância de medição é mantida satisfatoriamente de acordo com gênero e idade; as diferenças em meios latentes mostram estar entre forte ou moderada em relação à idade e ao sexo. As implicações teóricas e práticas são discutidas.
