Intergroup Empathy: How Does Race Affect Empathic Neural Responses?
نویسندگان
چکیده
How does race affect the human ability to share and respond to the suffering of others? Recent evidence provides novel insight into how and why race alters empathic neural response.

Manipulations of cognitive strategies and intergroup relationships reduce the racial bias in empathic neural responses
Social relationships affect empathy in humans such that empathic neural responses to perceived pain were stronger to racial in-group members than to racial out-group members. Why does the racial bias in empathy (RBE) occur and how can we reduce it? We hypothesized that perceiving an other-race person as a symbol of a racial group, rather than as an individual, decreases references to his/her pe...
متن کاملTheir pain is not our pain: brain and autonomic correlates of empathic resonance with the pain of same and different race individuals.
Recent advances in social neuroscience research have unveiled the neurophysiological correlates of race and intergroup processing. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying intergroup empathy. Combining event-related fMRI with measurements of pupil dilation as an index of autonomic reactivity, we explored how race and group membership affect empathy-related responses. Whit...
متن کاملTheir pain gives us pleasure: How intergroup dynamics shape empathic failures and counter-empathic responses.
Despite its early origins and adaptive functions, empathy is not inevitable; people routinely fail to empathize with others, especially members of different social or cultural groups. In five experiments, we systematically explore how social identity, functional relations between groups, competitive threat, and perceived entitativity contribute to intergroup empathy bias: the tendency not only ...
متن کاملTaking one's time in feeling other-race pain: an event-related potential investigation on the time-course of cross-racial empathy.
Using the event-related potential (ERP) approach, we tracked the time-course of white participants' empathic reactions to white (own-race) and black (other-race) faces displayed in a painful condition (i.e. with a needle penetrating the skin) and in a nonpainful condition (i.e. with Q-tip touching the skin). In a 280-340 ms time-window, neural responses to the pain of own-race individuals under...
متن کاملThe role of automaticity and attention in neural processes underlying empathy for happiness, sadness, and anxiety
Although many studies have examined the neural basis of empathy, relatively little is known about how empathic processes are affected by different attentional conditions. Thus, we examined whether instructions to empathize might amplify responses in empathy-related regions and whether cognitive load would diminish the involvement of these regions. Thirty-two participants completed a functional ...
