Empathy, target distress, and neurohormone genes interact to predict aggression for others-even without provocation.

Personality & social psychology bulletin - 1 Nov 2014

Buffone Anneke E K, Poulin Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Can empathy for others motivate aggression on their behalf? This research examined potential predictors of empathy-linked aggression including the emotional state of empathy, an empathy target's distress state, and the function of the social anxiety-modulating neuropeptides oxytocin and vasopressin. In Study 1 (N = 69), self-reported empathy combined with threat to a close other and individual differences in...
