- “If I look at the mass I will never act”: Psychic numbing and genocide (2007, positive): “In addition to positive and negative affect, more nuanced feelings such as empathy, sympathy, compassion, sadness, pity, and distress have been found to be critical for motivating people to help others (Coke, Batson, & McDavis, 1978; Eisenberg & Miller, 1987).”
- Agreeableness, empathy, and helping: a person x situation perspective. (2007, background): “Some kinds of outgroup memberships may induce stronger feelings of dissimilarity than other kinds (e.g., Eisenberg & Miller, 1987), and certain outgroup memberships could be construed as stigmatizing (e.g., Batson, Chang, Orr, & Rowland, 2002).”
- Empathy, gender, and prosocial behavior (2020, background): “There is strong evidence that greater empathy (both situational and dispositional) is connected to more prosocial behavior (Batson, 2011a; Batson et al. 2015; Davis, 2015; Eisenberg & Miller, 1987; Hein et al. 2010).”
- One or Many? The Influence of Episodic and Thematic Climate Change Frames on Policy Preferences and Individual Behavior Change (2011, background): “Eisenberg and Miller (1987), in a widely cited meta-review on empathy and altruism, find that while empathy is significantly correlated to altruistic behavior (a subset of prosocial behavior), distress is likely to cause egoistically motivated prosocial behavior, in which the desire is to remove…”
- Humble persons are more helpful than less humble persons: Evidence from three studies (2012, background): “…it would be important to examine whether humility accounts for unique variability in helping when other known predictors of helping behavior were statistically controlled, such as states or traits of empathy and distress (Batson, O’Quin, Fultz, Vanderplas, & Isen, 1983; Eisenberg & Miller, 1987).”
