Abstract

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic with its substantial changes to social life affects social cognitions, which are important for solidarity during a global crisis. We investigated how distal defense strategies for dealing with threat, perceived threat, and contact experiences relate to people’s empathic reactions during lockdowns in two countries. In three studies ( N = 1,332), we found that more experienced threat is associated with higher personal distress. In Germany, but not in the United Kingdom, people who applied social defenses reported more empathic concern. Additionally, general positive contact experiences related positively to empathic concern and perspective taking. These other-directed empathic reactions correlated highly with solidarity with others across all studies. The findings indicate that people’s empathy changes with their social experiences during this global crisis.

应对COVID-19大流行
摘要COVID-19大流行给社会生活带来了重大变化,影响了社会认知,而社会认知对于全球危机期间的团结至关重要。我们调查了在两个国家的封锁期间,处理威胁、感知威胁和接触经验的远端防御策略与人们的共情反应之间的关系。在三项研究中(N = 1332),我们发现更多的威胁经历与更高的个人痛苦相关。在德国,而不是在英国,使用社会防御的人表现出更多的共情关怀。此外,一般的积极接触体验与共情关注和观点采纳呈正相关。在所有研究中,这些他人导向的共情反应与与他人的团结高度相关。研究结果表明,在这场全球危机中,人们的同理心随着他们的社会经历而变化。
