One problem with the theory that the ability to turn empathy on and off is psychopathy is that such a theory would classify socially sanctioned violence and punishment as psychopathy, as it means exposing empathy toward certain individuals and/or groups. The attempt to circumvent this by normalizing psychopathy testing for cultures with different standards of punishment is criticized in this context because it is based on the assumption that people can be placed in distinct cultures, when in reality cultural influences are mixed and each person encounters a mosaic of influences (e.g., the unshared environment has more influence than the family environment). It is suggested that psychopathy could be an artifact of the normalization of psychiatry along imaginary sharp lines between cultures, as opposed to an actual difference in the brain. [163] [164] In evolutionary psychology, attempts to explain prosocial behavior often mention the presence of empathy in the individual as a possible variable. Although the exact motives behind complex social behaviors are difficult to distinguish, the „ability to put oneself in another person`s shoes and experience events and emotions as that person experienced them“ is the determining factor in truly altruistic behavior, according to Batson`s empathy-altruism hypothesis. When empathy is not felt, social exchange (what do I gain?) replaces pure altruism, but when empathy is felt, an individual will help with actions or words, whether for personal gain and even if the cost outweighs the potential rewards. [211] Her claims of being „broke“ or „not really rich“ seem almost as sensitive as Marie Antoinette telling people to eat cake. Sometimes when another person has had a horrible experience, people make the mistake of blaming the victim for their situation. This is why victims of crime are often asked what they could have done differently to prevent crime. Sympathy has been used since the 16th century, and its older age is reflected in its wider range of meanings, including „a sense of loyalty“ and „unity or harmony in action or effect.“ It finally comes from the Greek sympathÄs, which means „to have common feelings, sympathetic“, the syn- (âwith, with with) and páthos, âexperience, misfortune, emotion, stateâ empathy was modeled on sympathy; It was built at the beginning of the 20th century. This is the translation of the German introduction (âGefühl-inâ or âGefühl inâ).
First applied in contexts of philosophy, aesthetics and psychology, empathy continues to have technical advantages in areas that sympathy does not have. Empathic is a new term; it stems from empathy, which was invented in 1858 by the German philosopher Rudolf Lotze. Lotze believed that when you look at a work of art, you project your own sensibility onto it. So if you`re sad when you see a painting of a woman crying over a dying lover, it`s because you can imagine what it`s like to lose someone you love. To make the word, Lotze turned to the ancient Greek empatheia, which means „passion.“ The empathic is always aware of this constant and silent wave, whether he takes the trouble to understand it or not. Empathy is often described as the ability to feel what others feel, as if you were feeling it yourself. To feel empathy for someone is to show empathy. People who do this are described as empathetic. Not everyone feels empathy in every situation.
Some people may generally be more empathetic by nature, but people also tend to feel more empathetic towards some people and less empathetic towards others. Some of the factors that play a role in this trend are: Example: Having faced many of the same challenges, Nyala is sensitive to the struggles of immigrants. Compassion is a much older word; It has been part of the language since the 14th century and finally comes from the Latin com- und pati, which means „to bear, to suffer“. Empathy is an imprint of the 20th century, which is based on sympathy as a translation of the German introduction (âGefühl-inâ or âGefühl inâ). It was first applied in contexts of philosophy, aesthetics and psychology and continues to have technical use in these fields. Empathy doesn`t necessarily mean we want to help someone in need, although it is often an important first step toward compassionate action. In phenomenology, empathy describes the experience of something from the point of view of the other, without confusion between oneself and others. This is based on the feeling of agency.
In the most basic sense, it is the experience of the other`s body and in this sense, it is an experience of „my body there“. In many other ways, however, experience is altered in such a way that what is experienced is lived as the experience of the other; When I experience empathy, what is experienced is not „my“ experience, even if I experience it. Empathy is also considered a condition of intersubjectivity and a source of objectivity. [208] Empathy is the ability to emotionally understand how others feel, to see things from their point of view, and to imagine ourselves in their place. Essentially, it means putting yourself in someone else`s shoes and feeling how they feel. On the positive side, restless people empathetically focus on long-term well-being and not just the short-term well-being of those in need. Empathy-based socialization is very different from current practices aimed at inhibiting selfish impulses through training, modeling, and internalized guilt. Therapeutic programs designed to foster altruistic impulses by promoting empathetic perspectives and feelings may allow individuals to develop more satisfying interpersonal relationships, especially in the long term. At the societal level, experiments have shown that empathy-induced altruism can be used to improve attitudes towards stigmatized groups, or even to improve racist attitudes, actions towards people with AIDS, the homeless and even the convicted. It has also been found that such altruism increases cooperation in competitive situations.
[183] Some people use the word empathetically interchangeable or overlapping the word sympathetic, which usually means sharing or sharing emotions with someone else, especially sadness. However, others distinguish the two terms by emphasizing the importance of being empathetic towards others (feeling their pain) rather than being sympathetic towards them (pity for them). The term „empathy“ is used to describe a variety of experiences. Emotion researchers generally define empathy as the ability to perceive the emotions of others, combined with the ability to imagine what someone else might think or feel. „This is a humanity that desperately needs you. To push them forward, to push us powerfully in a more inclusive, just and empathetic direction. Not only to shape the debate, but also to be responsible for the debate – about racial justice, gender, climate change, mental health and well-being. pic.twitter.com/Dwhvnd0FKZ Some of the early research on empathy focused on how feeling what others are feeling allows people to have a variety of emotional experiences.
The philosopher Adam Smith suggested that it allows us to experience things we might never feel completely. The term empathy was first introduced in 1909 by psychologist Edward B. Titchener as a translation of the German term empathy. Several different theories have been proposed to explain empathy. It starts in basic education, where courses on innovation ethics, conscious capitalism, and empathic technology should be mandatory for every computer science student. Research on measuring empathy has attempted to answer a number of questions: Who should perform the measurement? What should be considered empathy and what should be excluded? Which unit of measurement (UOM) should be chosen, and how exactly each event should correspond to this UOM, are also key questions that the researchers have tried to investigate. But he felt the wave of emotions emanating from her and directly hitting her empathetic sense. She enveloped his conscience, tender, protective, sensitive.
