Abstract

Empathy plays a crucial role in determining how one understands others' emotional experiences and behavioral decisions. This study aimed to explore whether empathic concern affects the processing of self-related and charity-related outcome evaluations. In this study, participants performed gambling tasks for themselves and low- and high-empathy charities. The behavioral results showed that low-empathy charities had a significantly higher risk rate than the self, whereas there was no significant difference between low-and high-empathy charities. The event-related potential (ERP) results showed that the P300 valence difference (d-P300) of the self was significantly higher for high-empathy charitable activities than for low-empathy charitable activities, and the d-P300 of high-empathy charitable activities was significantly higher than that of low-empathy charitable activities. The P300 valence differences primarily originated from activation difference in the posterior mid-cingulate cortex (pMCC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The time-frequency analysis showed that positive outcomes induced greater β2 event-related desynchronization (ERD) amplitudes for high-empathy charitable activities compared to negative outcomes. These findings suggest that empathic concern increased the distinction between good and bad outcomes for charities and promoted greater cognitive effort allocation toward prosocial rewards. The d-P300 is closely linked to activations in the pMCC and mPFC.

共情关注对自我评价加工和慈善结果的影响。
移情在决定一个人如何理解他人的情感经历和行为决定方面起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨共情关怀是否影响自我相关和慈善相关结果评价的加工。在这项研究中,参与者分别为自己和低同理心和高同理心的慈善机构执行赌博任务。行为结果显示,低共情慈善的风险率显著高于自我,而低共情慈善与高共情慈善之间无显著差异。事件相关电位(ERP)结果显示,高共情慈善活动的自我P300效价差(d-P300)显著高于低共情慈善活动,高共情慈善活动的自我P300效价差显著高于低共情慈善活动。P300效价差异主要来源于后扣带中皮层(pMCC)和内侧前额叶皮层(mPFC)的激活差异。时间-频率分析结果表明,与消极结果相比,积极结果诱导高同理心慈善活动的β2事件相关不同步(ERD)幅度更大。这些发现表明,共情关注增加了慈善事业好坏结果的区别,并促进了对亲社会奖励的更大认知努力分配。d-P300与pMCC和mPFC的激活密切相关。

期刊介绍: Social Neuroscience features original empirical Research Papers as well as targeted Reviews, Commentaries and Fast Track Brief Reports that examine how the brain mediates social behavior, social cognition, social interactions and relationships, group social dynamics, and related topics that deal with social/interpersonal psychology and neurobiology. Multi-paper symposia and special topic issues are organized and presented regularly as well. The goal of Social Neuroscience is to provide a place to publish empirical articles that intend to further our understanding of the neural mechanisms contributing to the development and maintenance of social behaviors, or to understanding how these mechanisms are disrupted in clinical disorders.
