Resumo
GANTIVA, Carlos et al. Effect of Affective Empathy on the Cortical Processing of Emojis. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.1, pp.7-17. ISSN 1657-8961. https://doi.org/10.11144/javerianacali.ppsi17-1.eeap.
Objective.
The objective of this research was to identify the differences in the cortical processing of emojis in people with high and low affective empathy.
Method.
The study was carried out with 69 participants divided into two groups, low and high affective empathy, according to their score in the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. Each participant observed emojis with happy, neutral and angry expressions. Events related potential (ERP) P100, N170 and LPP were recorded.
Results.
An amplitude greater than N170 in the high affective empathy group, and a generally greater magnitude of the LPP in response to angry emoji were found.
Conclusion.
The results suggest that the emojis are processed cortically in a similar way to the human face and that affective empathy modulates the coding of the emoji but not the early attention and the attentional attachment to these stimuli.
