Narrative Empathie liegt dann vor, wenn der empathische Nachvollzugsprozess der (emotionalen, epistemischen) Situationen anderer Personen oder fiktiver Figuren durch ein Narrativ, das heißt eine sinnzusammenhängende Erzählung, ausgelöst und strukturiert wird. Der Aufsatz knüpft an den phänomenologischen Ansatz von Empathie als direkte Wahrnehmung an, vertritt aber die These, dass gerade bei Narrativen die Imagination und die Perspektiveneinnahme hinzukommen müssen, damit retrospektiv, prospektiv oder gegenwärtig die Situation des Anderen und seiner individuellen Perspektive vergegenwärtigt und verstanden werden kann. Der narrativen Empathie wird ein indirekter ethischer Wert zugeschrieben: Durch das empathisch anschauliche Anteilnehmen am Narrativ des Anderen und einen damit verbundenen Perspektivwechsel können auch unsere eigenen Perspektiven erweitert werden; dies kann zu besserem Verständnis ungewohnter Sichtweisen führen und moralische Gefühle und Handlungen motivieren. Narrative empathy is the complex re-presentation of an (emotional, epistemic) situation of another person or a fictional character by means of a narrative, which is a structured and perspectively colored context of meaning. The paper sympathizes with the phenomenological approach of empathy as direct perception though at the same time arguing that in cases of (literary, filmic, dramatic) narratives imagination and perspective-taking is also needed in order to be able to comprehend and to understand the other’s situation retrospectively, prospectively or at present. According to the author, narrative empathy has an indirect moral value: the vivid empathetic participation in the other’s narrative and the process of perspective-taking can help to broaden one’s horizons; this can lead to a better understanding of unfamiliar and other worldviews and motivate moral emotions and actions.

AbstractUsing the history classroom as a context for ethics and moral education is a long, but also contested, tradition. Recently, more emphasis has been put on how to incorporate ethics education, with this paper exploring the spaces of ethics and moral education in the history classroom. It is argued here that insights from moral philosophy and theories of historical consciousness, but – importantly – also moral psychology and the study of moral emotions, are needed to realise the potential of history teaching and learning to support ethics education. Following this line, three spaces of ethics education in the history classroom are identified in this paper, including: reasoning about the moral quality of historical actors’ conduct; the use of historical empathy (perspective-taking); and reflection of the past’s moral meaning to the present and the future. As an example of how to implement this, a set of stimulus activities is presented that is designed for the classroom and a qualitative analysis of students’ responses that explicate expressions of students’ moral reasoning, perspective-taking, and historical consciousness.

Emosi moral memegang peran penting yang berfungsi sebagai motif munculnya kecenderungan tindakan moral dan mengantisipasi pelanggaran moral remaja, dan mampu memikirkan kesejahteraan orang lain. Namun, belum ada penelitian yang mengkaji model yang memprediksi emosi moral remaja. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan: 1) Menguji model prediktif sosialisasi emosi orang tua yang dipersepsi oleh remaja dan perspective-taking terhadap emosi moral remaja; 2) Menguji peran perspective- taking mediator terhadap emosi moral remaja. Metode penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif. Pemilihan partisipan menggunakan teknik multistage sampling, partisipan berjumlah 936 remaja usia 12-18 tahun di Semarang yang diambil menggunakan Teknik analisis data menggunakan SEM PLS (Partial Least Square ). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan: 1) Model prediktif sosialisasi emosi orang tua yang dipersepsi oleh remaja dan perspective-taking terhadap emosi moral remaja mampu membuktikan kesesuaian teoretis dan teruji berdasarkan data empiris. Berdasarkan pengujian model struktural, diperoleh data bahwa: a)Terdapat pengaruh signifikan sosialisasi emosi orangtua yang dipersepsi oleh remaja terhadap perspective-taking ( =0,353,T-Stat >1,96); b) Terdapat pengaruh signifikan perspective- taking terhadap emosi moral( =0,188,T-Stat>1,96);c)Terdapatpengaruhsosialisasiemosiorangtuayangdipersepsiolehremaja emosi moral( =0,132,T-Stat >1,96); 2) Peran perspective-taking terbukti sebagai variabel mediator. Berdasarkan analisis data, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa sosialisasi emosi orangtua yang dipersepsi oleh remaja dapat memengaruhi emosi moral secara langsung maupun secara tidak langsung melalui perspective-taking. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dapat memberikan manfaat bagi perkembangan teori terkait moral serta memberikan informasi pada masyarakat secara luas, remaja dan orangtua secara khusus berkaitan dengan faktor yang dapat memengaruhi perkembangan emosi moral dan fungsi dari emosi moral.  Moral emotions hold an important role that functions as a motive for the emergence of moral acts and anticipates the moral violations of adolescents, and be able to think about the interests and welfare of other people. However, there has no studies that examine models that predict moral emotions in adolescents. Therefore, this study aims to: 1) Test the predictive model of parental emotions socialization perceived by adolescents and perspective-taking on adolescent moral emotions; 2) Test the role of perspective-taking as mediators mediator between parental emotion socialization and adolescent moral emotion. The research method used is quantitative. Partisipant selection was conducted through multi-stage sampling, 936 teenagers aged 12-18 years in Semarang. The statistical data analysis used is SEM PLS (Partial Least Square). The research results indicate: 1) The predictive model of parental emotions socialization perceived by adolescents and perspective-taking on adolescent moral emotions can prove theoretical and tested suitability based on empirical data. Based on structural testing of the model, the data obtained that: a) There was a significant influence on parental socialization perceived by adolescents on perspective-taking(γ = 0.353, T-Stat> 1.96); b) There was a significant influence of perspective-taking on moral emotions (β = 0.188, T-Stat> 1.96); c) There was an influence of parental socialization of emotions perceived by adolescents moral emotions (γ = 0.132, T-Stat> 1.96) s; 2) The role of perspective-taking is proven as a mediator variable. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the parental emotions socialization perceived by adolescents can influence moral emotions directly or indirectly through perspective-taking. Therefore, this study can provide benefits for the development of moral theory, and provide information to the wider community, adolescents and parents specifically related to factors that can influence the development of moral emotions and the function of moral emotions.

AbstractZero-sum thinking and aversion to trade pervade our society, yet fly in the face of everyday experience and the consensus of economists. Boyer & Petersen's (B&P's) evolutionary model invokes coalitional psychology to explain these puzzling intuitions. I raise several empirical challenges to this explanation, proposing two alternative mechanisms – intuitive mercantilism (assigning value to money rather than goods) and errors in perspective-taking.

We conducted an experiment to examine the effect of how subordinates present ideas (constructive vs. complaining form) on supervisor (receiver) responses (perceptions of subordinate intrusiveness and of overall performance). We demonstrated a joint effect of subordinate idea presentation (manipulated) and supervisor dogmatism (measured) such that supervisors with high levels of dogmatism rated subordinates who presented voice constructively as more intrusive and lower in performance than those with low dogmatism. Supervisor perspective taking mediated these relationships. Our findings highlight the importance of presenting ideas in a constructive form to receivers with low levels of dogmatism.
