NEW: Study finds that genes play a role in empathy.
A new study published today suggests that how empathic we are is not just a result of our upbringing and experience but also partly a result of our genes.

University of Cambridge developed the Empathy Quotient (EQ), a brief self-report measure of empathy. The EQ measures both parts of empathy.

Previous research showed that some of us are more empathetic than others, and that on average, women are slightly more empathetic than men. It also showed that, on average, autistic people score lower on the EQ, and that this was because they struggle with cognitive empathy, even though their affective empathy may be intact.

Re: NEW: Study finds that genes play a role in empathy.
The new study has three important results. First, it found that how empathetic we are is partly due to genetics. Indeed, a tenth of this variation is due to genetic factors. This confirms previous research examining empathy in identical versus non-identical twins.

Second, the new study confirmed that women are on average more empathetic than men. However, this difference is not due to our DNA as there were no differences in the genes that contribute to empathy in men and women.
This implies that the sex difference in empathy is the result of other non-genetic biological factors, such as prenatal hormone influences, or non-biological factors such as socialisation, both of which also differ between the sexes.

Finally, the new study found that genetic variants associated with lower empathy are also associated with higher risk for autism.

Helping out a neighbor whom just had their home burned down is empathy where as rewarding some lazy useless piece of shit whom refuses to work is not. I know it's confusing to idiots like you but as soon as You get off the couch and start supporting yourself You will figure it out.

They have actually done studies that show that conservatives have more empathy than liberals which is the reason they never give to charity.

yes, when psychopathic DNA is aborted vs. being born

most definitely

idiots rooting for rape and incest pregnancies and others where the woman knows it's best not to bring some deficient DNA into the world to not be aborted are fucking nuts

we don't need more defective psychopaths - they all need to go

Re: NEW: Study finds that genes play a role in empathy.
At times looking back and comparing the differences, it seems to be more of an ingrained character trait from before they are born.
It did show its self along family lines and similarly carried over traits, even with the family members they had not had any direct relations with, even socially.
1 out of 5 it was seen, from the prior generation family members they came from it was 2, out of 6 siblings not counting their father, who had that trait as well, his seemed to be environmentally brought about by wars and Police/Intel occupationally.
out of the 1-5 next generation of them where 1 was from their beginning after puberty natural born apathetic to parents, siblings, spouse and children, people in general.
They had a very high intellect, very pretty and very calculative minded, it was hard if not impossible for any evaluation to be successful at getting anything out of them to make any judgment by.
They learned the ropes of the insides of all that worked or operated, they learned it in depth even languages, laws treatment and procedures.
They had a photographic memory and never forgot anything they read or heard.
They had son my brother who was just like that minus the void of feelings, he lost that ability to feel for others through the abuse that came from her.
He gained that back through marriage and their first and only child right before he died he was able to feel and know love.

He did know Christianity and desired it and when he he felt it and love it, he loved Christ.
He retained all he come to know just like mom.
He followed it and kept it and died with it.

The treatment by environment and others can alter the depths of our ingrained natures.
For good or for bad.
Male or female.
The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds.

Re: NEW: Study finds that genes play a role in empathy.
FUNNY. THIS WEEKEND ON NPR THEY WERE PUSHING THE 'THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS HUMAN EMOTIONS' SCHTICK. ONE (((SCIENTIST))) AFTER (((ANOTHER))) WITH THEIR RESEARCH ON HOW WE CAN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT EMOTIONS ARE SO TECHNICALLY THAT MEANS THERE ARE NO EMOTIONS, AND THAT ARE BRAINS AND OUR SENSES ARE REALLY JUST CULTURAL ARTIFACTS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

IF WE HAVE NO EMOTIONS THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF EMPATHY?

(((THEY))) ARE SO DEEP INTO THEIR OWN FAIRY TALES THEY CAN'T KEEP THE STORYLINES STRAIGHT.
