Abstract

32 preschool children were videotaped while being administered Feshbach's FASTE test. The intensity of the expression of emotion in the face and voice to the emotions of happiness, anger, sadness, and fear was rated. Measures of cooperation and aggression were also obtained for each child. Feshbach's measure was predictive of cooperation but not of aggression. Different patterns of correlations were evident for facial and vocal empathy, with facial empathy showing negative correlations with cooperation. The expression of empathic sensitivity and its role in social behavior are discussed.
