摘要:In this study, we examined the relationship between perceived empathy and the strength of the empathized event (i.e., the extent to which the event was evaluated to be delightful). We analyzed whether the participants received empathetic responses from others applying the scene imagination method to the questionnaire. Data suggest that individuals who perceive empathized events to be more delightful feel more empathy while receiving empathetic responses. The study shows that there is a correlation between empathetic events and the context of the empathized event.
