노년기의 공감 능력의 변화 = Empathy in Late Adulthood: A Brief Review of Current Findings

국문 초록 (Abstract)

정상적 노화를 겪고 있는 노인드르이 인지적 공감 능력은 나이가 들수록 조금씩 감퇴하는 편이지만, 정서적 공감 능력의 감퇴 여부는 화실하지 않다. 전두촉두엽 치매(fronto-temporal dementia) 노인들의 인지적 및 정서적 공감 능력은 모두 손상되어 있는 것으로 보인다. 특성 차원의 공감 능력을 측정한 연구보다 상태 차원의 공감 능력을 측정한 연구에서 상대적으로 분명한 연령 차이를 보이는 경향이 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 이루어진 공감 능력의 노화를 연구한 결과들을 개관하면서 특성대 상태 공감 능력의 관점 및 공감 능력의 노화 연구에 대한 실제적 함의도 논의하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In general, cognitive empathy was known to decline slowly as people are getting older and older, results of previous studies on emotional empathy have been inconsistent. Older adults with fronto-temporal dementia showed impairment of both emotional and cognitive empathy. Also trait empathy in older adults might not be different from that in younger adults, but the older adults show clear different performance in state empathy from the younger adults. Previous findings are discussed in terms of trait versus state empathy distinction, and practical implications of age-related changes in empathy are discussed in this article.
