Differentiation of Personal Distress and Sympathy in Children and Adults.
Eisenberg, Nancy; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v24 n6 p766-75 Nov 1988
Third and sixth graders were induced to experience sympathy and distress with procedures to examine: possibility that facial and heart-rate markers and self-report indices could differentiate sympathetic and distress reactions; age and sex differences in markers of response modes; relations of empathy, parental attitudes toward expression of emotion, and participants' social presentational concerns to indices of response modes.
