Content:
'Empathic Concern' provides an evidence-based review of developments over the past five decades in our understanding of other-oriented emotion felt for another in need, including the motivational and behavioral consequences of this emotional state.
Content:
"Empathy has received a lot of attention since the turn of the millennium. Barack Obama championed it as a vital but underutilized national resource-famously saying in a commencement address at Northwestern University in 2006, "There's a lot of talk in this country about the federal deficit. But I think we should talk more about our empathy deficit." As Obama explained two weeks earlier at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, empathy for him meant "to put yourself in other people's shoes-to see the world from their eyes.""--
