Transmitting the Empathy

Empathy for the Sake of Empathy :

Purely Transmitting Integrable Defects * )

Some aspects of integrable field theories possessing purely transmitting defects are described. The main example is the sine-Gordon model and several striking features of a classical field theory containing one or more defects are pointed out. Similar features appearing in the associated quantum field theory are also reviewed briefly. 1 Classical picture The context of this topic is two-dimensi...

Transmitting in the n-Dimensional Cube

Alon, N., Transmitting in the n-dimensional cube, Discrete Applied Mathematics 37/38 (1992) 9-1 I. Motivated by a certain communication problem we show that for any integer n and for any sequence (a,,...,ak) of k = [n/21 binary vectors of length n, there is a binary vector z of length n whose Hamming distance from a, is strictly bigger than k-i for all 1 5 i 5 k. The n-dimensional cube is the g...

Empathy.

After defining empathy, discussing its measurement, and offering an example of empathy in practice, we present the results of an updated meta-analysis of the relation between empathy and psychotherapy outcome. Results indicated that empathy is a moderately strong predictor of therapy outcome: mean weighted r = .31 (p < .001; 95% confidence interval: .28-.34), for 59 independent samples and 3599...

Towards Artificial Empathy - How Can Artificial Empathy Follow the Developmental Pathway of Natural Empathy?

The design of artificial empathy is one of the most essential issues in social robotics. This is because empathic interactions with ordinary people are needed to introduce robots into our society. Several attempts have been made for specific situations. However, such attempts have provided several limitations; thus, diminishing authenticity. The present article proposes “affective developmental...
