A lifespan perspective on attachment and care for others: Empathy, altruism, and prosocial behavior (2016, background): “…situations in which an adult experimenter displays needs that differentially call for helping, sharing, and comforting (e.g., Dunfield & Kuhlmeier, 2013); and tasks that isolate specific motives (e.g., sympathy vs. seeking social rewards) underlying prosocial behavior (e.g., Hepach et al., 2013a).”
Empathy from infancy to adolescence: An attachment perspective on the development of individual differences (2017, background): “…(Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007), perceptions of status and power (Côté et al., 2011), the presence or absence of emotional distress cues (Vaish, Carpenter, & Tomasello, 2009), and rules for displaying distress in different contexts (Hepach et al., 2013b) influence empathy in both children and adults.”
