Understanding how others feel: Evaluating the relationship between empathy and various aspects of emotion recognition following severe traumatic brain injury.

The ability to identify the intensity and differentiate among emotions is associated with emotional empathy. Although individuals with severe TBI may be able to differentiate emotions, they may be unable to utilize this information to share and understand the emotions of others, or vice versa. These results could have implications for understanding poor interpersonal relationships and impaired social functioning following TBI. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
