Moral Empathy Gaps and the American Culture War
Emotion Review 3 (3):331-332 (2011)
Abstract
Our inability to feel what others feel makes it difficult to understand how they think. Because moral intuitions organize political attitudes, moral empathy gaps can exacerbate political conflict (and other kinds of conflict as well) by contributing to the perception that people who do not share our moral opinions are unintelligent and/or have malevolent intentions.DOI
