Self-Concern and the Unwillingness to Be Helpful
Two experiments sought to demonstrate that self-concern lowers the willingness to be helpful. In the first study, high self-concern was established in half of the male subjects by giving them a test of social intelligence. Then, ostensibly in an unrelated manner, all of the participants were asked to help the experimenter, but half thought this aid was important for the supplicant personally. The subjects worked hardest for the supplicant when th…
Objective self‐awareness as a nonaversive state
A bstract The possibility that self‐aware subjects in previous objective sell‐awareness studies displayed heightened negative affect and avoidance reactions because they were made to focus on permanent negative discrepancies was investigated in the present research. Subjects were first induced to regard a negative real‐ideal discrepancy as either permanent or reducible in size, and then were either made or not made objectively self‐aware. As expe…
Physician's Death Anxiety and Patient Outcomes
It was hypothesized that terminal patients of physicians with high death anxiety would survive longer during their final hospital stay than terminal patients of physicians with low death anxiety. This was based on the reasoning that physicians high in death anxiety would be less willing to accept their patients' terminality and therefore would be more likely to use heroic measures to keep them alive. Hospital physicians were asked to complete a d…
Prediction as a means of inducing tolerance
Contrast empathy and observer modeling behavior 1
Cognitive factors, like beliefs, have been studied extensively as determinants of medication adherence, while affect associated with taking medicines has been studied much less. In the present study (N = 525), we investigated affect by assessing patients’ first associations with taking their medicines. Results showed that these associations were related to self-reported medication adherence: Patients who associated taking medicines with negative …
On the relationship between empathy and the actor versus observer hypothesis
Effect of emotional empathy on attribution of responsibility 1
Clinical Research and the Stages of Dying
Kübler-Ross's claim that terminal patients near death pass through five psychological stages in a predictable order is examined and found not to be supported by other investigators. Their data show the process of dying to be less rigid and even stageless. There is some consensus among all researchers that terminal patients are depressed shortly before they die, but there is no consistent evidence that other affect dimensions characterize the dyin…
Empathic observation of an innocent victim
Effect of Residential Change on the Temporal Distance to Death of Terminal Cancer Patients
Records of deceased patients at a terminal-care cancer institute were examined to discover whether temporal distance to death varied as a function of the disparity between the patients' preadmission living arrangement and the institutional life style. The major finding was that those patients who came to the institute from other hospitals survived nearly one month longer, on the average, than the patients who came from a dissimilar home environme…
