Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in the Workplace: A Conceptual and Operational Review and Future Research Agenda (2018, positive): “Examples can be found in the work of Rameson et al. (2012), who studied empathy and prosocial behaviour; and research by Hein et al. (2010), who examined prosocial behaviour and help-giving to others.”
The Role of Empathy and Compassion in Conflict Resolution (2019, background): “…activations in brain areas relevant for reward processing when participants witness the pain or misfortunes of outgroup members or people from other races (Avenanti, Sirigu, & Aglioti, 2010; Cikara, Botvinick, & Fiske, 2011; Hein et al., 2010; Singer et al., 2006; Xu, Zuo, Wang, & Han, 2009).”
Institutionalizing passion in world politics: fear and empathy (2014, background): “When the pre-existing relationship is one of antipathy, the neural reaction to the other will be lower (Harris and Fiske 2006, 2011; Hein et al. 2010).”
Empathy: a motivated account. (2014, background): “Brain activity related to experience sharing (Hein et al., 2010) and mentalizing (Masten, Morelli, & Eisenberger, 2011; Waytz, Zaki, & Mitchell, 2012) further predicts observers’ later costly helping.”
Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain (2011, neutral): “5 Tesla Siemens Magnetom Sonata, operated by the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, University College London, UK, and one cue-based study (Hein et al., 2010) was scanned on a 3 T Philips Achieva operated by The Institute for Biomedical Engineering, University and ETH Zurich, Switzerland.”
Efficient computation of adjusted p-values for resampling-based stepdown multiple testing (2016, methodology): “Examples of such papers include Heckman et al. (2010), Hein et al. (2010), Campbell et al. (2014), Gertler et al. (2014), and Dobbie and Fryer (2015).”
An fMRI investigation of empathy for 'social pain' and subsequent prosocial behavior (2011, background): “While two recent studies have examined neural correlates of prosocial behavior, these have focused on associations between various prosocial proclivities and empathy for physical pain (Hein et al., 2010) or general emotional pain (Mathur et al.”
