    "abstract": "This study investigated the effect of empathy in text comprehension. After 89 university students read a document\nwhich described how to write an educational practical report, they took a comprehension test and responded on the following\nscales: parallel empathy, reactive empathy, subjective comprehension, and attitude. In the framework of dual-process theory,\nparallel empathy depends on system 1 while reactive empathy is controlled by system 2. As a result, the mean comprehension\ntest score in the condition in which students read the document describing only procedure and some cautions was higher, but\nthe mean reactive empathy score was lower than that in the condition in which students read the document including empathic\nepisodes of the author with illustrations, in addition to the procedure and cautions. An analysis by structural equation modeling\nwith previous data suggested that adding empathic episode disturbed text comprehension, but enhancing empathy promoted\nsubjective comprehension and attitude change.",
