Social and linguistic behavior and its correlation to trait empathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A growing body of research exploits social media behaviors to gauge psychological characteristics, though trait empathy has received little attention. Because of its intimate link to the ability to relate to others, our research aims to predict participants’ levels of empathy, given their textual and friending behaviors on Facebook. Using Poisson regression, we compared the variance explained in Davis’ Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) scores on four constructs (empathic concern, personal distress, fantasy, perspective taking), by two classes of variables: 1) post content and 2) linguistic style. Our study lays the groundwork for a greater understanding of empathy’s role in facilitating interactions on social media.
