Abstract
In the present investigation, we document the association between multimodal emotion recognition and state and trait empathy. We assessed participants' (N = 342) capacities for emotion recognition-across 13 emotions expressed in the face, voice, and body-as well as their state- and trait-like empathic tendencies. Emotion recognition accuracy predicted greater state-like empathic responses to targets' expressions of emotions, as evident in higher reports of emotion-specific shared emotion and sympathy. Emotion recognition accuracy also predicted validated self-report measures of trait-like empathy, providing further evidence for the critical role of emotion recognition in empathy.

期刊介绍：
Emotion publishes significant contributions to the study of emotion from a wide range of theoretical traditions and research domains. The journal includes articles that advance knowledge and theory about all aspects of emotional processes, including reports of substantial empirical studies, scholarly reviews, and major theoretical articles. Submissions from all domains of emotion research are encouraged, including studies focusing on cultural, social, temperament and personality, cognitive, developmental, health, or biological variables that affect or are affected by emotional functioning. Both laboratory and field studies are appropriate for the journal, as are neuroimaging studies of emotional processes.
