This book provides an evidence-based review of developments in our understanding of empathic concern over the past five decades, clarifying what empathic concern is (and isn't), where it comes from, what its forms are, its motivational consequences, and its importance in interpersonal and intergroup relations. Rather than lauding empathic concern as a panacea or castigating it as a problem, the evidence supports a more nuanced view: Empathic concern has benefits but also liabilities, and its benefits can be realized only if we recognize and address its liabilities. The evidence-based review also points to needed next steps in research on the nature and function of empathic concern-and on its use in interventions to increase sensitive response to the needs of others near and far.
C. Daniel Batson is an experimental social psychologist. He was a member of the Department of Psychology at the University of Kansas from 1972-2008 and is now Professor Emeritus there. His research has focused primarily on empathic emotion and altruistic motivation, but he has also studied moral emotion and motivation, as well as the behavioral consequences of religion. Batson is the author of numerous research articles on these topics, a half-dozen books, and has received a Career Contribution Award from the Society of Personality and Social Psychology.
