同理心是我们社交世界中的一种重要能力,是亲社会行为的动力,并被认为在生命的第二年发展。目前的研究调查了婴儿对自然主义同伴苦恼的反应,以探索幼儿移情和亲社会行为的标志。十七个8个月大的婴儿参加了重复测量设计使用的“婴儿在组”的范例,与母亲的存在作为自变量。反应类型之间存在显着差异:凝视是婴儿苦恼的标准反应,其次是社会导向的行为和影响,自我苦恼很少发生。母亲的存在并没有影响婴儿对同伴苦恼的反应的性质或频率。在痛苦发作期间,婴儿优先看痛苦的同伴,然后是其他母亲,最少是自己的母亲。数据显示,婴儿对同伴痛苦的反应导致了超过三分之一的时间成功地停止了痛苦发作。提供了案例研究来说明定量数据。研究结果提供了婴儿在出生后第一年内存在共情关怀和亲社会行为的证据,并对共情的发展理论提出了挑战。
Empathy is an important competence in our social world, a motivator of prosocial behavior, and thought to develop throughout the second year of life. The current study examined infants' responses to naturalistic peer distress to explore markers of empathy and prosocial behavior in young babies. Seventeen 8-month-old infants participated in a repeated measures design using the "babies-in-groups" paradigm, with maternal presence as the independent variable. Significant differences were found between response types: Gaze was the standard response to infant distress, followed by socially directed behaviors and affect, with self-distress rarely occurring. Maternal presence was not found to impact the nature or frequency of babies' responses to peer distress. During distress episodes, babies looked preferentially at the distressed peer, then other mothers, and least to their own mother. Data revealed that infant responses to peer distress resulted in a successful cessation of that distress episode over one third of the time. Case studies are provided to illustrate the quantitative data. The results provided evidence of empathic concern and prosocial behavior in the first year of life, and provoke a challenge to developmental theories of empathy.
