To what extent can simple mental exercises cause shifts in empathic habits? Can
we use mobile technology to make people more empathic? It may depend on how
empathy is measured. Scholars have identified a number of different facets and
correlates of empathy. This study is among the first to take a comprehensive,
multidimensional approach to empathy to determine how empathy training could
affect these different facets and correlates. In doing so, we can learn more
about empathy and its multifaceted nature. Participants (N = 90) were randomly
assigned to receive either an empathy-building text message program (Text to
Connect) or one of two control conditions (active versus passive). Respondents
completed measures of dispositional empathy (i.e. self-perceptions of being an
empathic person), affective empathy (i.e. motivations to help, immediate feelings
of empathic concern), and prosocial behavior (i.e. self-reports and
observer-reports) at baseline, and then again after the 14 day intervention
period. We found that empathy-building messages increased affective indicators of
empathy and prosocial behaviors, but actually decreased self-perceptions of
empathy, relative to control messages. Although the brief text messaging
intervention did not consistently impact empathy-related personality traits, it
holds promise for the use of mobile technology for changing empathic motivations
and behaviors.
