 Affective empathy can come from cognitive empathy, but can also come from direct transfer of emotions - "emotional contagion". This is important for social identity and group dynamics - eg. a herd needing to react quickly to the presence of a predator, which may only be spotted by a few individuals. Affective empathy can come from cognitive empathy, but can also come from direct transfer of emotions - "emotional contagion".

   * 'Classical conditioning' sharing an intense emotional experience with another person, allows you to learn the connection between responses and situations. Later you can relate a similar response in another person with the event you've experienced.   * 'Classical conditioning' sharing an intense emotional experience with another person, allows you to learn the connection between responses and situations.

-=====OCC Theory (used for FAtiMA)=====+  * Language understanding (even alone, in situations like engaging with characters in a book) 
 +  * 'Role taking' - imagining yourself in another's perspective.

 +====Intrapersonal outcomes==== 
 +  * Internal changes, expressed or not 
 +  * Affective outcomes 
 +    * Parallel - same emotion, motor mimicry 
 +    * Reactive - merge own with other's reactions (distress, sympathy or gloating). 
 + 
 +Accuracy of understanding is determined by: 
 +  * Similarity and familiarity with subject 
 +  * Difference between explaining your own behaviours and others (tend to be situational forces vs personality characteristics) 
 + 
 +====Interpersonal outcomes==== 
 + 
 +Changes in behavior resulting from empathic processes:

 +  * Helping

 +Used as the basis of [[lirec:FAtiMA]]
  
   * Appraisal of events -> Emotions   * Appraisal of events -> Emotions
 +  * Appraisals can be checked and are learned over time
 +
 +Appraisals are carried out on:
 +
 +  * Objects regarding their appealingness
 +  * Agents regarding the praiseworthyness of their actions
 +  * Outcomes of events regarding their desirability, for the agent itself, or for others.
 +
 +The OCC model has a set of emotional categories:
 +
 +  * Fortunes of others: Happy-For, Resentment, Gloating, Pity
 +  * Prospect based: Satisfaction, Relief, Fear-confirmed, Disappointment
 +  * Well being: Joy, Distress
 +  * Attribution: Pride, Shame, Admiration, Reproach
 +  * Well being/Attribution compounds: Gratification, Gratitude, Remorse, Anger
 +  * Attraction: Love, Hate
 +
 +The five phases of emotion processing
 +
 +  1. Classification: Event, action or object, according to emotional cateories
 +  2. Quantification: What are the intensities?
 +  3. Interaction: With the current emotional categories of the agent
 +  4. Mapping: 22 emotional categories to lower number of emotional expressions
 +  5. Expression: face expression etc.
