When participants observed a rubber hand being touched, their sense of touch was activated (rubber hand illusion: RHI). While this illusion might be caused by multi-modal integration, it may also be related to empathic function, which enables us to simulate the observed information. We examined individual differences in the RHI, including empathic and schizotypal personality traits, as previous research had suggested that schizophrenic patients would be more subject to the RHI. The results indicated that people who experience a stronger RHI might have stronger empathic and schizotypal personalites simultaneously. We discussed these relationships in terms of self-other representations.
当参与者观察到一只橡胶手被触摸时，他们的触觉就会被激活（橡胶手错觉：RHI）。虽然这种错觉可能是多模态整合引起的，但它也可能与共情功能有关，共情功能使我们能够模拟所观察到的信息。我们研究了 RHI 的个体差异，包括共情和精神分裂型人格特质，因为之前的研究表明精神分裂症患者更容易受到 RHI 的影响。结果表明，经历强烈 RHI 的人可能同时具有更强的共情和精神分裂型人格。我们根据自我他人的代表来讨论这些关系。
