컴퓨터와 사용자와의 효과적인 정서적 상호작용의 도구로서 의인화된 형태의 인터페이스 에이전트의 정서 표현에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 연구는 의인화된 인터페이스 에이전트가 어떤 정서를 표현하는가에 초점을 두고 있다. 그러나 인간과의 원활한 정서적 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 것은 어떤 정서인가의 문제만이 아니다. 인간은 타인의 상황과 정서에 공감하는 방식으로 정서를 표현하는 상대를 더 긍정적으로 평가한다. 또한 공감하는 방식의 정서 표현은 사회적으로 적용되는 성별 고정관념에 따라 여성적 속성으로 분류된다. 따라서 공감하는 방식의 정서 표현이라 하더라도 표현의 주체가 남성이냐 여성이냐에 따라 상대방의 인식이 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구는 인간간의 사회적 관계에서 일어나는 공감적인 정서 표현과 표현하는 주체의 성별의 효과가 인간-인터페이스 에이전트간의 상호작용에서도 나타나는지를 검증하기 위하여 참가자와 인터페이스 에이전트가 함께 게임에 참여하는 과제를 실시하고 인터페이스 에이전트의 성별, 참가자의 성별, 얼굴 표정과 말을 통한 정서 표현의 공감 여부(타인의 상황에 공감하는 정서 표현 - 자신의 상황에 대한 정서 표현), 정서 표현 여부(얼굴 표정과 말로 정서를 표현 - 정서가 배제된 무표정과 말)에 따라 인터페이스 에이전트에 대해 참가자가 지각한 배려, 호감, 신뢰, 지능, 지배, 순종이 어떻게 다른지를 측정하는 실험을 실시했다. 그 결과, 타인의 상황과 정서에 공감하는 방식으로 정서를 표현하는 에이전트의 배려, 지능, 순종적 성향을 높게 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 남성 에이전트의 경우, 정서를 표현하거나 정서가 배제된 표현을 하는 조건에 관계없이 참가자가 지각하는 배려와 호감의 차이가 없었으나, 여성 에이전트의 경우 정서를 표현하는 조건에서 배려와 호감이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 반대로 참가자가 인터페이스 에이전트에 대해 갖는 신뢰에 대해서 여성 에이전트의 경우, 정서를 표현하거나 정서가 배제된 표현을 하는 조건에 관계없이 참가자가 느끼는 신뢰의 차이가 없었으나 남성 에이전트의 경우, 정서가 배제된 표현을 하는 에이전트에게 더 높은 신뢰를 보였다. 또한 남성 참가자에 비해 여성 참가자가 에이전트의 배려, 호감, 지능, 순종을 높게 평가하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 사용자와 인터페이스 에이전트 간의 원활한 정서적 상호작용을 위해서는 어떤 정서를 표현할 것인지 뿐만 아니라 누구에 대한 정서를 어떻게 표현하는지, 정서를 표현하는 에이전트가 남성인지 여성인지, 에이전트와 상호작용하는 사용자가 남성인지, 여성인지를 고려할 필요가 있음을 시사하고 있다.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects on emotional empathy given by type and degree of adolescent participation in recreational activities, and investigate the associated causal relationships. The following conclusions were obtained: First, analyzing the differences in emotional empathy based on demographic characteristics, the results statistically indicated emotional contagion is a subfactor of emotional empathy. Second, analyzing the differences based on participation type, the results statistically indicated emotional contagion is more influential than positive sharing and emotional intervention, which are sub-factors of emotional empathy. Third, analyzing the differences based on participation degree, the variables influencing participation frequency, participation time, and participation period were positive sharing and emotional contagion, rather than emotional intervention. Fourth, analyzing the causal relationship between participation degree and emotional empathy, the results revealed that participation degree affects positive sharing and emotional contagion, which are sub-factors of emotional empathy.

This purposed of this study was to investigate the effect of empathy on social justice commitment from a social-cognitive perspective. Specifically, we examined how cognitive and affective empathy affect social justice commitment through social justice self-efficacy, social justice outcome expectation, and social justice interest which represent a social-cognitive path of behavior. Based on the self-report survey sample of 537 people in their twenties, we first controlled social desirability, and then analyzed the measurement and structure model using Structure Estimate Modeling(SEM). As a result, it turned out that both cognitive and affective empathy indirectly affected social justice commitment through the path of the social-cognitive model. However, affective empathy had a larger effect size compared to cognitive empathy. Results suggest that empathy competence has an effect on not only general altruistic behavior as known before but also social justice behavior which include the value of equality and anti-discrimination. Finally, ways for facilitating social justice commitment in terms of cognitive and affective empathy were suggested.

This study investigated gender differences in contribution of antisocial personality and affective empathy to psychopathy. Two hundred fifteen college students (male, 118; female,97) completed three measures including the PPI-R(Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised), the PAI-ANT(Personality Assessment Inventory-Antisocial Features), and the EETS (Emotional Empathy Tendency Scale). According to the results, the mean scores of PPI-R and EETS in male group were higher than in female group. Antisocial features were positively associated with psychopathy in both male and female groups and negatively with affective empathy. Males showed that the scores of affective empathy were negatively associated with those of antisocial features and psychopath. Females showed that the scores of affective empathy were negatively associated with those of antisocial personality and psychopathy but the correlation was significant only with the scores of antisocial behavior (ANT-A). To scrutinize the differences between male and female groups, the scores on the PAI and EETS were compared between 30% upper and 30% lower groups based on the scores of the PPI-R. According to the results, the upper group of the scores on the PPI had higher scores on the PAI and lower scores on the EETS. The differences of the scores on the EETS between high-psychopathy and low-Psychopathy groups were bigger in male group than in female group. Explanations and implications of the results were discussed and the directions of the future studies were suggested.

This study seeks to verify how empathic concern and perspective-taking predict happiness by investigating the mediating effects of cognitive reappraisal. Online surveys about empathic concern, perspective-taking, cognitive reappraisal, and happiness were conducted by 336 adult subjects. First, the correlation analysis indicated that empathic concern and perspective-taking significantly predicted cognitive reappraisal and happiness, respectively. Second, cognitive reappraisal also significantly predicted happiness. Third, the cognitive reappraisal mediated the association between empathic concern and happiness and between perspective-taking and happiness. Specifically, people who emotionally and cognitively empathize with others reported higher levels of cognitive reappraisal, which allowed them to experience higher levels of happiness. These findings have confirmed that people can increase their happiness by enhancing cognitive reappraisal through emotional and cognitive empathy. Finally, the implications and limitations of the present research are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to verify relative effects of emotion and empathy on altruistic behavior. A survey including psychological well-being, depression, empathic concern, and perspective taking was conducted on 329 undergraduates. Results revealed that altruism was positively correlated with psychological well-being, empathy concern, and perspective taking but negatively correlated with depression. Test for relative effects of positive and negative emotional states on altruism revealed that psychological well-being, but not depression, significantly predicted altruism. Test for relative effects of emotional and cognitive empathy factors on altruism showed that empathic concern, but not perspective taking, significantly predicted altruism. Test for relative effects of all four factors on altruism revealed that the empathic concern was the strongest factor affecting altruism, followed by psychological well-being, while the remaining two factors did not have an effect on altruism. Implications and limitations of this study are also discussed in this study.
