在PubMed上查看摘要
概括
此摘要是机器生成的。自杀未遂者和精神病患者之间的同情程度并没有差异. 然而,精神病理与同情的痛苦和幻想有关,特别是在没有精神疾病的人中,有助于识别自杀风险.
科学领域
- 精神病学
- 心理学
- 共感研究
背景情况
- 患有精神疾病的患者表现出高度的自我同情心,但对他人同情心却有所减少.
- 试图自杀者的同理心特征及其与精神病理学的联系尚不清楚.
研究的目的
- 调查自杀未遂者,非自杀精神病患者和健康对照者之间的同理心差异.
- 检查同理心子尺度,精神病理学和群体状态之间的关系.
主要方法
- 在62名自杀未遂者,64名非自杀精神病患者和138名健康对照者中使用了自我报告的同情心和精神病学问卷.
- 使用线性回归模型和分层分析来测试同情心,精神病理和群体成员之间的关系.
主要成果
- 试图自杀的人比健康人群有更高的幻想 (FS) 和个人痛苦 (PD) 分数.
- 在所有组中,更高的心理压力与FS和PD得分的增加相关.
- 随着自杀未遂者的精神病态增加,前景摄入量下降,而健康和精神病控制组的PD则增加.
结论
- 自杀和非自杀精神病患者之间的同理心水平没有显著差异.
- 精神病理与同情的个人痛苦 (PD) 和幻想 (FS) 相关,这种关系在没有精神疾病的人中更强烈.
- 情感和自我导向的同情度可能有助于识别有自杀行为风险的人.

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.
Empathy is often confused with pity and sympathy, which are different reactions to the situation of someone else or...
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...
There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
In 2011, the New York Times published a feature story on Krista and Tatiana Hogan, Canadian twin girls. These particular twins are unique because Krista and Tatiana are conjoined twins, connected at the head. There is evidence that the two girls are connected in a part of the brain called the thalamus, which is a...
Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?
Research suggests there are many other reasons. Altruism is people’s desire to help others even if the costs outweigh the benefits of helping. In fact, people acting in altruistic ways may disregard the personal costs associated with helping. For example, news accounts of the...
