Quantitative Empathy Controlling And Measuring Literature

Jayawickreme, Foa, Sposato, and Williams, (2012) suggests that the ordeal of a stressful incident can have an undesirable influence on the manner people contemplate and perceive their individuality, other people, and the domain in which they reside. Point of view and emotional state are frequently correlated; therefore, trauma awareness may perform a part in choosing an

“Hot-to-cold” empathy gap: People who are in “hot” states tend to underappreciate the extent to which their preferences and behavioral inclinations are influenced by their affective state; they typically believe they are behaving more dispassionately than they actually

In Leslie Jamison’s The Empathy Exams, the author uses a conversational style to express her main focuses about the idea of empathy, how we feel other people’s pain, and how we identify with it. The author uses her own personal experiences of going through two different surgeries to describe her pain and the responses of the people around her. Her experiences support her argument that voiced empathy isn’t enough but we need to have compassion and understanding. She also argues empathy isn’t as simple as asking a checklist of questions. For example, she states, “Empathy isn’t just something that happens to us…it’s a choice we make: to pay attention, to extend ourselves” (Jamison 28). There is a process to acknowledge the

Imagine seeing an abusive video, it creates a lot of emotion in people. It brings out another side of them either emotionally or physically making them want to do something about the situation. Now when people start a new job they usually go through some type of training getting them ready for the work. That’s what this experiment is about, but it’s not just your average type of training. In the Article “Increasing Cognitive Readiness Through Computer and Videogame–Based Training” by Jorge Peña and Nicholas Brody, a study was made to see if exposure to emotional or tacticle miltatry videos had an effect on two compents of congnative readiness, emotional regulation and metacognition. Also examining how social identification factors such as

In the first chapter of our book, Batson introduces the seeming complexity of empathy as he lays out eight different uses of the word empathy (Decety & Ickes, 2009). However, later in the book, Rogers expresses the simplicity of empathy in his observation of the healing power from just the intense presence of a therapist (Decety & Ickes, 2009). It seems easy to get lost in the terms and definitions of empathy. We read terms such as “grasp”, “sort through”, & “resonance” and can become overwhelmed about the

The researchers were interested in intrapersonal interactions of people in different classes. They based their study on the hypothesis that people in the lower class are more accurate when it comes to judging the emotions of those within and outside their class. They carried out this research in three studies to find out whether “social class influences empathic accuracy. The first study focused on using people from different levels of education to see whether it affected empathic accuracy. The second study used information from the first study while also using contextual explanation along with a partner evaluation to see if social class influenced how people perceived emotions. The third study focused on trying to improve empathic accuracy

I think having empathy is important because if you don't have empathy, you will not understand other's emotions. Without empathy you will have a hard time understanding others opinion. The author wants to tell that reading will improve you're empathy. I agree with that because before I started reading, I have a hard time understanding other's opinion or feeling but know I do great at understanding others. In the articlethere is a quote of Kidd saying "What great writers do is to turn you into the writer. In literacy fiction, the incompleteness of the characters turns your mind to trying to understand the minds of others," which supports my story of reading books helped me understand others. My biggest takeaway is from another quote by Kidd

Although there is no universal belief that empathy is central to social change, there is a significant level of agreement from educators, politicians, philosophers, and even talk show hosts, that reading fictional literature evokes feelings of empathy that can encourage individuals to make a difference in the world (Davis 400; Jurecic 10). Joy Kogawa’s novel, Obasan, is an example of how a text that exudes beauty and gentleness rather than anger while approaching a dark subject can powerfully move readers. Obasan follows the life of Naomi Nakane, a Japanese Canadian who was only five years old when her family was separated and relocated from their home in Vancouver during the Second World War. The novel focuses largely on Naomi’s childhood

Empathy or the capability to comprehend and share the feelings and emotions of another is seen as a positive characteristic for an individual to hold (Guadagni, Burles, Ferrara & Iaria, 2014). Empathy is said to present itself as two types; cognitive and emotional (Blanke, Rauers, Riediger, 2016). Cognitive empathy refers to a person 's ability to recognize another 's emotions while emotional empathy refers to an individual’s ability to resonate with those emotions (Blanke, Rauers, Riediger, 2016). Sleep

A therapist instructs his patient to visualize a person that they do not particularly favor. The unfavorable person is imagined to sit on the chair in front of the patient; this is a type of technique called directed visualization. An effect like the behaviorist’s Systematic Desensitization is the objective of the activity and not the emotions of the patient. The exercise reduces the fear and avoidance of the patient towards the unpleasant experience hence; the patient is becomes less frightened of the said experience. The patient expresses his or her sentiments and thoughts towards the imagined person seated on the chair, as if the person is actually in the room. The patient talks how he or she would really talk to the person in reality; this

- Empathy: (00:26) When the client stated that he thought he was receiving his money today Katie could have said "I'm sorry, lets take a look at your account and check on that for you. Can you provide me with your loan/phone number?"

Method of empathy-based stories (MEBS). The MEBS method previously used by Kultalahti and Viitala (2014) consisted of third-person stories describing an imaginary person at work. The method examined the participants’ personal views on the matter by asking them to empathize with an imaginary person from the story. In their research, Kultalahti and Viitala (2014) used one positive and one negative story for the purpose of comparison. Since the goal of the current study was to find the main factor that demotivated the millennials and triggered their turnover intention, only the negative story was included in the present study questionnaire. The negative story described an imaginary person lacking motivation and being tired of work and was taken from Kultalahti and Viitala (2014):

It suggested counselors to look into the affect of the client during sessions. Meier (2012) stated that a therapist must try to hear the feelings of the client during sessions (p. 14). The reading described various terms of affect in detail. The relationship between physical movements of the client such as downcast gaze, and affect was interesting. This body movement would possibly be hypothesized as a sad affect (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2015). It was helpful to read this section because it helped me to prepare my interventions with my client for the next session. One of my clients is diagnosed with major depressive disorder and has difficulties in expressing his symptoms. This reading provided me with terms of mood state to observe and intervene to explore his affective content.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, events like the 9/11 terrorist attacks, stock market crash, and North Korea’s missile tests, have tested humanity’s strength. From uncontrollably weeping in one’s own room to interlocking arms in unity, humans react quite differently to hardships/tragedy; nevertheless, all people want to feel connected to something greater. These actions are prompted by adversity and sorrow. The time has come where technological advancements need to attend to the broken and emotional distraught culture that these global issues have created. Rather than letting technology advance beyond human emotion, technology must advance to nurture the needs of humans. One technological advancement aimed at connecting humans on an emotional level is virtual reality. Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image/environment that can be interacted with by the user. It works by having the images respond to the user’s movement, thereby giving the user the sense of being immersed. This artificial environment affords users the opportunity to explore the unknown and discover a universe of possibilities.
