Interpersonal sensitivity refers to our ability to perceive and respond with care to the internal states (e.g., cognitive, affective, motivational) of another, understand the antecedents of those states, and predict the subsequent events that will result. This special issue brings together new research findings from empirical studies, including work with adults and children, genetics, functional neuroimaging, individual differences, and behavioral measures, which examine how we process and respond to information about our fellow individuals. By combining biological and psychological approaches, social neuroscience sheds new light on the complex and multi-faceted phenomenon of interpersonal sensitivity, including empathy. One should, however, be aware of the challenges and limits of such an approach.
人际敏感性是指我们感知并谨慎回应他人内部状态（如认知、情感、动机）的能力，理解这些状态的前因，并预测随之而来的结果。本期特刊汇集了实证研究的新发现，包括针对成人和儿童的研究、遗传学、功能性神经成像、个体差异以及行为测量，这些研究探讨了我们如何处理和回应有关他人的信息。通过结合生物学和心理学方法，社会神经科学为包括同理心在内的人际敏感性这一复杂多面的现象带来了新的启示。然而，人们应该意识到这种方法所面临的挑战和局限性。
