Psychological and physiological evidence has demonstrated that the underlying mechanisms for empathy and for autobiographical memories were related to a great extent. However, whether the facilitative effect of empathy on memory also applied to misinformation was unknown. To test this, we used a misinformation paradigm on a sample of 51 participants aged 20-27. The participants viewed videos that evoked different degrees of empathy, and then were fed misleading information. The participants' susceptibility to misleading information was lower for the videos that provoked a high degree of empathy compared to the videos that provoked a low degree of empathy. Based on our data, we conclude that empathy can prevent people from being misled by false information.
心理和生理证据表明，同理心和自传体记忆的潜在机制在很大程度上是相关的。然而，同理心对记忆的促进作用是否也适用于错误信息尚不清楚。为了检验这一点，我们在一个由 20 到 27 岁的 51 名参与者组成的样本中使用了错误信息范式。参与者观看了引发不同程度同理心的视频，然后接收了误导性信息。与引发低程度同理心的视频相比，引发高度同理心的视频使参与者更容易受到误导性信息的影响。基于我们的数据，我们得出结论，同理心可以防止人们被虚假信息误导。
