Explaining the Link between Personality and Relationship Satisfaction: Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Behaviour in Conflict Discussions (2015, background): “…interaction partner: perspective taking (i.e. regulating one’s emotions by trying to understand feelings and thoughts of one’s interaction partner, Blair, 2005) and aggressive externalisation (expression of anger and blaming the interaction partner, Benecke, Vogt, Bock, Kaschier & Peham, 2008;…”
Addressing Empathic Failures (2015, background): “For instance, individuals with psychopathy are capable of reporting on targets’ mental states but do not feel congruent emotions (Blair, 2005).”
The affective and cognitive empathic nature of the dark triad of personality. (2012, background): “Recent evidence suggests that the perception of facial expressions induces mimicry in the form of spontaneous, minute, synchronisation reactions of facial muscles (e.g. Rymarczyk, Biele, Grabowska, & Majczynski, 2011), also known as motor empathy (Blair, 2005).”
Neuronal correlates of altered empathy and social cognition in borderline personality disorder (2011, neutral): “The first is a cognitive component, which captures the capacity to infer others' mental states and is also referred to as mentalizing, Theory of Mind or social cognition (Blair, 2005).”

Mind Perception Is the Essence of Morality (2012, background): “Consistent with this idea, psychopaths have difficulty with both emotional empathy and emotional recognition (Blair, 2005; Mahmut, Homewood, & Stevenson, 2008; Marsh & Blair, 2008).”
Empathy from infancy to adolescence: An attachment perspective on the development of individual differences (2017, background): “In adulthood, this deficit is associated with child abuse, violence, and psychopathy (e.g., Blair, 2005; Jolliffe & Farrington, 2004; Rodriguez, 2013).”
The Emerging Study of Positive Empathy (2015, background): “Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders have difficulty empathizing and interpreting what others are thinking or feeling (Baron-Cohen, 2009), whereas psychopaths can often recognize others’ emotions but do not share others’ affective states (Blair, 2005; Blair, Jones, Clark, & Smith, 1997).”
Theory of Mind and conduct problems in children: Deficits in reading the “emotions of the eyes” (2008, background): “Given the considerable neuropsychological and neuroimaging data in support of the amygdala theory of violent behaviour (Blair, 2005a, 2005b; Blair, Peschardt, Budhani, Mitchell, & Pine, 2006), Richell et al. (2003) predicted that adult psychopaths would perform poorly on the Eyes Test.”
Thinking of mental and other representations: The roles of left and right temporo-parietal junction (2006, background): “The ventral part is essential for emotional empathy (Blair, 2005), whereas the dorsal part is responsible for monitoring the interaction between self and other people, e.g., triadic attention (Williams, Waiter, Perra, Perrett, & Whiten, 2005).”
Dissociation between cognitive and affective empathy in youth with Asperger Syndrome (2015, methodology): “Rogers et al. (2007) tested a group of adults with AS using empathy and ToM tests and confirmed the presence of deficits in cognitive empathy while affective empathy remained intact.”
Mirroring others' emotions relates to empathy and interpersonal competence in children (2008, background): “…of empathy (for a distinction between emotional and cognitive perspective-taking components of empathy, see Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright, 2004; Davis, 1983; Jackson et al., 2005; Lawrence et al., 2006; for an additional distinction between emotional empathy and motor empathy, see Blair, 2005).”
The Development of Empathy : How , When , and Why (2010, result): “In contrast to the previous discussion of empathy deficits in autism, antisocial behavior and psychopathy may be characterized by deficits in emotional empathy rather than cognitive empathy (Blair 2005; Blair 2007).”
Empathy: A Review of the Concept (2016, background): “Second, empathy for an absent target may be elicited by verbal statements from a third party (Blair, 2005; Polaschek, 2003), retrospectively (Barnett & Mann, 2013), and by inference from one’s previous experience (Eisenberg et al., 1991).”
Dissociation of Cognitive and Emotional Empathy in Adults with Asperger Syndrome Using the Multifaceted Empathy Test (MET) (2008, background): “Independent measurement of cognitive and emotional empathy: As outlined above, empathy can be viewed as entailing both a cognitive and an emotional component (Blair 2005), where those components are considered to be different yet related.”
