摘要

在2023年3月至2024年3月期间，使用基于小插图的任务（N = 159名4- 7岁的美国儿童，82名女孩，52%白人）来检查儿童对共情者的评价。与缺乏同理心的人相比，孩子们通常对移情者的评价是积极的。他们认为移情反应更合适，选择移情者更好，并推断移情者和移情目标之间存在更积极的关系。然而，当移情与帮助行为对比，或针对不道德的行为时，对移情的评价更为消极。年龄较大的孩子在考虑对不道德行为的反应时，对帮助和同情的权衡更为平等，他们的评估也会发生更大的变化。这些结果表明，儿童在社会评价中使用同理心，并且环境对这些评价的影响随着年龄的增长而增强。

Children's Evaluations of Empathizers

Children's evaluations of empathizers were examined using vignette-based tasks (N = 159 4- to 7-year-old U.S. children, 82 girls, 52% White) between March 2023 and March 2024. Children typically evaluated empathizers positively compared to less empathic others. They rated empathic responses as more appropriate, selected empathizers as nicer, and inferred more positive relationships between empathizers and the targets of empathy. However, when empathy was contrasted with helping behavior, or directed toward an immoral actor, evaluations of empathy were more negative. Older children weighed helping and empathy more equally and shifted their evaluations more when considering responses to immoral acts. These results show children use empathy in their social evaluations, and contextual influences on these evaluations strengthen with age.
