对老年人、中年人和年轻人的情感同理心和亲社会行为进行了评估。参与者观看了两部描绘有需要的人的电影，一部令人振奋，另一部则令人痛苦。在观看电影期间监测生理反应，参与者在每部电影结束后评估他们的情感同理心水平。作为亲社会行为的衡量标准，参与者获得了额外的报酬，他们可以向慈善机构捐款，以支持电影中的个人。两部电影中的情感同理心（自我报告的移情关注以及心脏和皮肤反应）和亲社会行为（贡献大小）以及自我报告的对令人痛苦的电影的个人痛苦都发现与年龄相关的线性增加。对这两部电影的同情关注和心脏反应，以及仅对令人痛苦的电影的个人痛苦，与更大的亲社会行为相关。共情关注部分调节了亲社会行为中与年龄相关的差异。结果是根据我们对成人发展和人类情感这些重要方面的本质的理解来讨论的。
Emotional empathy and prosocial behavior were assessed in older, middle-aged, and young adults. Participants watched two films depicting individuals in need, one uplifting and the other distressing. Physiological responses were monitored during the films and participants rated their levels of emotional empathy following each film. As a measure of prosocial behavior, participants were given an additional payment they could contribute to charities supporting the individuals in the films. Age-related linear increases were found for both emotional empathy (self-reported empathic concern and cardiac and electrodermal responding) and prosocial behavior (size of contribution) across both films and in self-reported personal distress to the distressing film. Empathic concern and cardiac reactivity to both films, along with personal distress to the distressing film only, were associated with greater prosocial behavior. Empathic concern partially mediated the age-related differences in prosocial behavior. Results are discussed in terms of our understanding both of adult development and of the nature of these vital aspects of human emotion.
