Empathy can be considered one of our most important social processes. In that light, empathic technologies are the class of technologies that can augment empathy between two or more individuals. To provide a basis for such technologies, a three component framework is presented based on psychology and neuroscience, consisting of cognitive empathy, emotional convergence, and empathic responding. These three components can be situated in affective computing and social signal processing and pose different opportunities for empathic technologies. To leverage these opportunities, automated measurement possibilities for each component are identified using (combinations of) facial expressions, speech, and physiological signals. Thereafter, methodological challenges are discussed, including ground truth measurements and empathy induction. Finally, a research agenda is presented for social signal processing. This framework can help to further research on empathic technologies and ultimately bring it to fruition in meaningful innovations. In turn, this could enhance empathic behavior, thereby increasing altruism, trust, cooperation, and bonding.

“…On the other hand, some research has shown that high levels of victim-blaming are associated with increased intimate partner abuse [42]. Studies on attributions in relationships show that men who have been violent in their relationships tend to view their partners as critical, rejecting, and intentionally malicious, and tend to blame their partners for difficulties [43][44][45]. Finally, with regard to minimization, as Scott and Straus [18] point out, individuals with prior experience of intimate partner violence are more likely to minimize the extent and impact of low-level abusive behaviors [46] and to be accepting aggression in relationships [47][48].…”

Men arrested and condemned for intimate partner violence assaults tend to use external attributions to justify their behavior and tend to minimize the severity of their violent acts. Responsibility assumption is one of the main goals in many batterer programs because it could facilitate behavioral changes and reduce the dropout rate. In the current study, first we aim to create two scales to assess attribution of responsibility and minimization of incidents of partner violence, and second, to classify batterers based on their levels of minimization and their attributions of responsibility. Participants were 119 male batterers attending to the first assessment session of a court mandated batterer intervention program in the community. The analyses showed appropriate psychometric characteristics for both scales. The scores obtained allowed us to identify two types of participants in the study.

“…There is a precedent in the research literature for the procedures we have used. A similar signal detection approach to analyze data generated within an empathic accuracy paradigm has previously been reported by Schweinle, Ickes, and Bernstein (2002).…”

Drawing inferences about other people's thoughts and feelings related to power issues ('powerrelevant' thoughts and feelings) can affect how hierarchies are formed. Perceivers who infer such thoughts and feelings can be biased (i.e., over-or underestimating the occurrence of power-relevant thoughts and feelings). We investigated whether the perceiver's gender and the perceiver's preference for a high or low power position ('power preference') affects the perceiver's bias toward attributing power-relevant thoughts and feelings to others. Participants were 80 female and 35 male students who indicated their power preference and then guessed whether videotaped target individuals had experienced power-relevant thoughts and feelings or not. Using a signal detection approach, we found that men who preferred a high power position overestimated the occurrence of power-relevant thoughts and feelings in others more than men who preferred a low power position. No such difference in overestimation bias was found for women.
