EMPATHY IN SIX- AND SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS
Abstract
This study tests the hypothesis that similarity between the sex of the subject and the sex of the stimulus facilitates empathic behavior in children, where empathy is defined as a vicarious affective response. The effects of sex differences and of variations in affect observed were also assessed. 6and 7-year-old boys and girls reported their feelings after observing slidesequence stories depicting boys or girls in diferent affective states. The results strongly support the experimental hypothesis and further distinguish between the recognition of an affective state in others and the empathic response to that perception.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
