研究表明，诱导对被污名化群体成员的同情可以改善对整个群体的态度。但是，这些更积极的态度转化为代表群体的行动了吗？一个实验的结果对这个问题给出了肯定的答案。大学生们首先听了一段对海洛因成瘾者和毒贩的采访；然后，他们有机会建议将学生会的资金分配给一个帮助吸毒者的机构。（该机构不会帮助他们听到采访的那个瘾君子。）被诱导对成瘾者产生同理心的参与者将更多的资金分配给该机构。与过去的结果一样，这些参与者还报告了对吸毒成瘾者更积极的态度。此外，在一个实验条件下，参与者被诱导对一个虚构的瘾君子产生同理心，这略微增加了他们对吸毒成瘾者的行为行为和更积极的态度。
Research reveals that inducing empathy for a member of a stigmatized group can improve attitudes toward the group as a whole. But do these more positive attitudes translate into action on behalf of the group? Results Of an experiment suggested an affirmative answer to this question. undergraduates first listened to an interview with a convicted heroin addict and dealer; they were then given a chance to recommend allocation of Student Senate funds to an agency to help drug addicts. (The agency would not help the addict whose interview they heard.) Participants induced to feet empathy for the addict allocated more funds to the agency. Replicating past results, these participants also reported more positive attitudes toward people addicted to hard drugs. In addition, an experimental condition in which participants were induced to feel empathy for a fictional addict marginally increased action on behavior, and more positive attitudes toward, drug addicts.
