Will the Real Moral Judgment Please Stand Up? (2009, background): “In addition, recent research with adult populations with Asperger’s syndrome finds that although they are impaired in cognitive empathy, they score similarly to neurotypical controls on measures of emotional empathy ( Dziobek et al. 2008; Rogers et al. 2007).”
Neuronal correlates of altered empathy and social cognition in borderline personality disorder (2011, neutral): “The Multifaceted Empathy Test (MET; Dziobek et al., 2008) is an ecologically valid measure that allows for the separate assessment of the cognitive and emotional aspects of state empathy.”
Oxytocin Enhances Amygdala-Dependent, Socially Reinforced Learning and Emotional Empathy in Humans (2010, methodology): “The amygdala is also implicated in empathic responses (Dziobek et al., 2008).”
Social Cognitive Neuroscience of Empathy: Concepts, Circuits, and Genes (2012, background): “Not all empathy concepts require isomorphism, only some kind of appropriate affective resonance (e.g., Dziobek et al., 2008).”
The affective and cognitive empathic nature of the dark triad of personality. (2012, background): “Differential relationships of the two empathic systems have been identified in individuals with Asperger syndrome (impairment in cognitive empathy; Dziobek et al., 2008) or higher aggression (impairment in affective empathy; Schechtman, 2002).”
The QCAE: A Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (2009, background): “…is prominent in psychopathy, whereas problems with cognitive empathy are associated with disorders on the autistic spectrum (Blair, 2005, 2008; Dziobek et al., 2008; Hansman-Wijnands & Hummelen, 2006; Rogers, Dziobek, Hassenstab, Wolf, & Convit, 2007), and highlights the QCAE as a valuable…”
Dissociation between cognitive and affective empathy in youth with Asperger Syndrome (2015, methodology): “These results replicate previous findings with adults and adolescents (Dziobeck et al., 2008; Jones et al., 2010; Rogers et al., 2007; Schwenck et al., 2012), but here they have been obtained via self-report and performance measures, which means that adolescents with AS are aware of their own diffic”
Two systems for empathy: a double dissociation between emotional and cognitive empathy in inferior frontal gyrus versus ventromedial prefrontal lesions. (2009, background): “, 2005, 2006) autism (Dziobek et al., 2008) and schizophrenia (Lee et al.”
Moving in and out of synchrony: A concept for a new intervention fostering empathy through interactional movement and dance (2012, background): “People with Asperger Syndrome have been shown to be impaired in cognitive empathy, but not to differ from controls in emotional empathy in the form of general emotional arousal and concern (Dziobek et al., 2008).”
The Development of Empathic Perspective‐Taking in an Engineering Ethics Course (2017, background): “This form of empathy, thus, closely aligns with what social psychologists and neuroscientists call theory of mind (Dziobek et al., 2008), which suggests that through understanding another’s beliefs and desires (not to be confused with one’s own beliefs or desires), one can explain another’s…”
The Neural Bases for Empathy (2011, background): “Finally, although the emotional and cognitive systems appear to work independently, every empathic response may still evoke both components to some extent, depending on the social context.”
