Empathy

From Perception to Understanding and Feeling Others' Emotions

By: Shir Genzer,Yoad Ben Adiva,Anat Perry

Empathy provides a cognitive and emotional bridge that connects individuals and promotes prosocial behavior. People empathize with others via two complementary perceptual routes: Cognitive Empathy or the ability to accurately recognize and understand others' emotional states, and Affective Empathy or the ability to 'feel with' others. This Element reviews past and current research on both cognitive and affective empathy, focusing on behavioral, as well as neuroscientific research. It highlights a recent shift towards more dynamic and complex stimuli which may capture better the nature of real social interaction. It expands on why context is crucial when perceiving others' emotional state, and discusses gender differences, biases affecting our understanding of others, and perception of others in clinical conditions. Lastly, it highlights proposed future directions in the field.

Third-Party Risk Policies in the Netherlands

A Historical Sketch

By: Ben J.M. Ale

It is not easy to keep the population safe in a country that is one of the most densely populated in the world, is a hub of international transport over land and water, as well as through the air, and about one third of which lies under sea level. Third-party risk policies developed gradually in the Netherlands, but became acute in the latter part of the 20th century with the growth of various industries’ use and production of hazardous materials. The Dutch government, considering its constitutional responsibility to protect the life, health and wellbeing of its people, must resolve the ongoing debate between the general population, who are exposed to these risks, and those profiting from the creation of said risks—the resultant policies are a product of this balancing act. This book will be of interest to politicians, policymakers, civil servants, and the general population, as it contains valuable insight into what constitutes sustainable policy and how it can be achieved.

Sugar

By: Ben Richardson

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Sugar

By: Ben Richardson

There is more sugar in the world's diet than ever before, but life is far from sweet for the exploited producers making nature's 'white gold' and the unhealthy consumers eating it. Why has the billion-dollar sugar trade created such inequities? In this insightful analysis, Ben Richardson argues that the most compelling answers to this question can be found in the dynamics of global capitalism. Led by multinational companies, the mass consumption of sweetened snacks has taken hold in the Global South and underpinned a new wave of foreign investment in sugar production. The expansion of large-scale and highly-industrialised farms across Latin America, Asia and Africa has kept the price of sugar down whilst pushing workers out of jobs and rural dwellers off the land. However, challenges to these practices are gathering momentum. Health advocates warning against costly diseases like diabetes, trade unions fighting for better pay, and local residents campaigning for a cleaner environment are all re-shaping the way sugar is consumed and produced. But to truly transform sugar, Richardson contends, these political activities must also address the profit-driven nature of food and farming itself.

Are Children Reliable Witnesses?

Are Children Reliable Witnesses?

By: Ben F. Cotterill

If a child falls victim to a crime, or becomes witness to it, they may well be questioned by the police. Perhaps even tasked with selecting a suspect from a line-up. But how reliable can a child be under such strenuous circumstances? In this book, Dr. Ben Cotterill explores practices and influences that can increase or decrease the accuracy of children’s testimonies. Memory mechanisms and general developmental factors behind the capability of child witnesses are outlined, demonstrating their ability to describe or identify. Factors that affect jurors' perception of said children are also looked into in detail. There have been many instances in which poor interviewing practices with children led to false imprisonments. Said occurrences demonstrate how both situational factors and individual differences can potentially compromise children’s eyewitness performance. Based upon what we now understand, can recommendations be made, so that, in a court of law, innocence is the key to achieving justice?
