本实验考察了利他主义与利己主义对移情关怀对帮助的影响的解释。移情-利他主义假说认为，移情关怀会激发一种利他动机来缓解他人的痛苦；消极的状态救济解释则认为移情关怀的效果是通过悲伤来实现的，而悲伤会产生一种利己动机来减少自己的不愉快状态。96名男性学生和96名女性学生首先通过想象或观察他人的问题来倾听，然后给他们机会帮助那个人解决相同或不同的问题。与共情-利他主义假说一致的是，想象集SS比观察集SS对同一问题的帮助更多，但对不同的问题没有帮助。此外，只有与具体问题相关的同理心才能帮助他人。尽管悲伤与帮助有关，但它并不能解释移情关怀的影响。(心理信息数据库记录(C)2016 APA，保留所有权利)
This experiment investigated altruistic vs. egoistic interpretations of the effect of empathic concern on helping. The empathy–altruism hypothesis posits that empathic concern arouses an altruistic motivation to relieve the distress of another person; the negative state relief interpretation proposes that the effect of empathic concern is mediated by sadness, which produces an egoistic motivation to reduce one's own unpleasant state. 96 male and 96 female Ss first listened with an imagine or observe set to another person's problem and then were given an opportunity to help that person with the same problem or with a different problem. Consistent with the empathy–altruism hypothesis, imagine-set Ss helped more often than did observe-set Ss for the same problem but not for a different one. In addition, only empathic concern associated with the specific problem related to helping. Although sadness was related to helping, it did not account for the effect of empathic concern.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
