Article Synopsis
- Most research has concentrated on how people empathize with negative emotions, leaving a gap in understanding empathy towards positive emotions.
- The study involved three different age groups of Jewish-Israeli infants and children to investigate their responses to both distress and happiness, distinguishing between cognitive and emotional empathy.
- Results indicated that while cognitive empathy was similar for both positive and negative emotions, emotional empathy varied depending on whether the emotion was positive or negative, highlighting that understanding emotions is different from sharing them.
