Development of artificial empathy. (2015, background): “A part of the MNS could also be ncluded in this process (Shamay-Tsoory et al., 2009).”
An fMRI investigation of empathy for 'social pain' and subsequent prosocial behavior (2011, background): “Fortunately, recent neuroimaging research has begun to disentangle the affective and cognitive components of empathy by showing that each relies on distinct neural networks (Decety andMeyer, 2008; Singer, 2006; Shamay-Tsoory et al., 2009).”
The development of compassionate engagement and action scales for self and others (2017, background): “Shamay-Tsoory et al. [106] separated the competencies for emotional empathy and cognitive empathy (perspective taking), showing they are distinct and depend on separate anatomical substrates.”
Empathy: Gender effects in brain and behavior (2014, background): “Instead, empathic responses are often revealed by immediate responses of the body (e.g., Levenson and Ruef, 1992), suggesting that the brain mechanisms mediating such responses are often devoid of cognitive efforts (Shamay-Tsoory, 2014; Shamay-Tsoory et al., 2009).”
The emotional link: Leadership and the role of implicit and explicit emotional contagion processes across multiple organizational levels (2015, background): “These different neurological routes may form the basis for differentiating between emotional and cognitive forms of empathy, though these within-person variations may also vary and change over time for both leaders and followers (Shamay-Tsoory et al., 2009).”
The emotional deficits associated with the Dark Triad traits: Cognitive empathy, affective empathy, and alexithymia (2013, background): “Moreover, cognitive and affective empathy—though dissociable constructs—are also strongly related (Shamay-Tsoory et al., 2009), with affective empathy potentially facilitating one’s ability or motivation to understand others’ feelings.”
