同理心，理解他人情绪的能力，可以通过观点采择和经验分享来实现。当成年人移情时活跃的神经系统包括观点采择（例如内侧前额叶皮层; MPFC）和经验分享（例如下顶叶小叶; IPL）。目前尚不清楚青少年是否在准确移情时利用涉及经验分享和观点采择的网络。这个问题是至关重要的，因为准确理解他人的情绪对于在青春期发展和维持适应性同伴关系至关重要。我们通过确定共情准确性的神经基础来扩展青春期共情的文献，共情的行为分析不会使参与者偏向于专门使用观点采择或经验分享。参与者（N = 155，年龄11.1-15.5岁）观看了描述情绪事件的“目标”视频，并在功能磁共振成像扫描期间连续评估目标的情绪。移情准确性与观点采择相关区域（MPFC、颞顶交界区和上级颞沟）的激活有关，而经验分享相关区域（IPL、前扣带皮层和前扣带皮层）的激活与较低的移情准确性有关。这些结果为青少年移情准确性的神经基础提供了新的见解，并表明观点采择过程可能对增加移情有效。
Empathy, the ability to understand others’ emotions, can occur through perspective taking and experience sharing. Neural systems active when adults empathize include regions underlying perspective taking (e.g. medial prefrontal cortex; MPFC) and experience sharing (e.g. inferior parietal lobule; IPL). It is unknown whether adolescents utilize networks implicated in both experience sharing and perspective taking when accurately empathizing. This question is critical given the importance of accurately understanding others’ emotions for developing and maintaining adaptive peer relationships during adolescence. We extend the literature on empathy in adolescence by determining the neural basis of empathic accuracy, a behavioral assay of empathy that does not bias participants toward the exclusive use of perspective taking or experience sharing. Participants (N = 155, aged 11.1–15.5 years) watched videos of ‘targets’ describing emotional events and continuously rated the targets’ emotions during functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning. Empathic accuracy related to activation in regions underlying perspective taking (MPFC, temporoparietal junction and superior temporal sulcus), while activation in regions underlying experience sharing (IPL, anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula) related to lower empathic accuracy. These results provide novel insight into the neural basis of empathic accuracy in adolescence and suggest that perspective taking processes may be effective for increasing empathy.
