Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the innate vs. acquired (cultural) aspects of affective empathy and emotional regulation. Volunteers watched videos with a virtual reality (VR) headset, triggering negative emotions, while their emotional response were measured by electroencephalographic evoked potentials (EEG). The effect of empathic touch (placing the hand on the back) on emotion regulation was measured. This international study allowed us to compare the regulation of emotions between people living in Japan and those living in France.
