同理心与社会行为高度相关，可以通过表达同情和关注（情感同理心）以及通过解释或陈述一个人可以在精神上重建和理解另一个人的想法和感受（认知同理心）来口头表达。在本研究中，我们调查了负性绩效反馈后接受共情社会反应的情绪效应和神经相关性，并比较了情绪共情评论与认知共情评论的效应。20名参与者（10名男性）接受功能性磁共振成像，同时接受认知任务的负面表现反馈。表现反馈之后是口头评论，要么表达认知和情感上的同理心，要么表现出缺乏同理心。一般来说，共情的评论会减少消极的自我报告的感觉和平静的呼吸。在神经水平上，共情评论会引起与社会认知和情绪处理相关的区域的活动，特别是在右侧中央后回和左侧小脑（认知共情评论）、右侧中央前回、左侧额下回的盖部和左侧颞中回（情绪共情评论），以及左额中回和左上级顶叶回的眶部（情绪共情与非共情评论）。研究表明，认知和情感共情评论似乎是在部分可分离的神经系统中处理的。此外，确认和扩大对同一主题的另一项研究，目前的结果表明，社会展示的认知共情施加几乎一样的积极影响，收件人的感情和情绪的状态，痛苦的情绪共情反应。这可能与专业环境有关，在专业环境中，强烈的负面情绪需要降级，同时保持专业公正性，这可能允许展示认知而不是情感同理心。
Empathy is highly relevant for social behavior and can be verbally expressed by voicing sympathy and concern (emotional empathy) as well as by paraphrasing or stating that one can mentally reconstruct and understand another person’s thoughts and feelings (cognitive empathy). In this study, we investigated the emotional effects and neural correlates of receiving empathic social responses after negative performance feedback and compared the effects of emotionally vs. cognitively empathic comments. 20 participants (10 male) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while receiving negative performance feedback for a cognitive task. Performance feedback was followed by verbal comments either expressing cognitive and emotional empathy or demonstrating a lack of empathy. Empathic comments in general led to less negative self-reported feelings and calmer breathing. At the neural level, empathic comments induced activity in regions associated with social cognition and emotion processing, specifically in right postcentral gyrus and left cerebellum (cognitively empathic comments), right precentral gyrus, the opercular part of left inferior frontal gyrus, and left middle temporal gyrus (emotionally empathic comments), as well as the orbital part of the left middle frontal gyrus and left superior parietal gyrus (emotionally empathic vs. unempathic comments). The study shows that cognitively and emotionally empathic comments appear to be processed in partially separable neural systems. Furthermore, confirming and expanding on another study on the same subject, the present results demonstrate that the social display of cognitive empathy exerts almost as positive effects on the recipient’s feelings and emotions in states of distress as emotionally empathic response does. This can be relevant for professional settings in which strong negative emotions need to be de-escalated while maintaining professional impartiality, which may allow the display of cognitive but not emotional empathy.
