{ "pk": 26044, "title": "Using false belief task to explore the effect of empathy situation on Theory of Mind\nfunction", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Theory of Mind (TOM) is an ability to simulate mental activities, attribute intention, and predict behaviors of others.\nAccording to Ickes’s study (1990), there are strong correlation between empathy and TOM. However, whether they have any\ncausal-effect relationship is still unclear. It is possible to differentiate the two processes from a developmental perspective\nsince TOM ability develops later than empathy. This study aimed to study the influence of empathy on TOM processes. In the\nexperiment (N=28), 4-year-olds children received a traditional false belief task first; and then after a week, they were divided\ninto two different empathic situations: bullying condition and bully-victim condition. The study found a trend that the TOM\nscore is lower in the bullying condition but higher in the bully-victim condition compared to the baseline condition despite of\nthe insufficient subjects. It suggests that empathic states indeed impact TOM processing.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Member Abstracts", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/40z5b79x", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Chi-Lin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Yu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Min-Ying", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wang", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Pei-wen", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Chen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Joe-Yi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Yap", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jen-Shen", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Chang", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Yong-Ru", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hsiao", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jon-Fan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "National Cheng Kung University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26044/galley/15668/download/" } ] }
