In the current pandemic situation, psychological science is increasingly considered by public health policy. Empathy is mainly recognized as a crucial drive for prosocial behavior. However, this rich body of evidence still lacks visibility and implementation. Effective social programs are needed, and little is known about how to elicit empathetic drives. The paper gives first a clear foundation to the role of empathy during stressful events. It provides then a comprehensive overview of innovative interventions triggering empathic response in the public such as fiction, film, and theater. Moreover, it integrates interactive ways of sharing personal views that could elicit empathetic feelings in different people. Advances deriving from this perspective could be of significant public interest in the current and future health crises and help authorities develop innovative social programs, which should be the focus of further scientific inquiry.
在当前的疫情形势下，公共卫生政策越来越重视心理科学。共情主要被视为亲社会行为的关键驱动力。然而，这一丰富的证据体系仍缺乏可见性和实施。需要有效的社会项目，而对于如何激发共情驱动力却知之甚少。本文首先明确了共情在压力事件中的作用基础。接着，它全面概述了诸如小说、电影和戏剧等能引发公众共情反应的创新干预措施。此外，它还整合了分享个人观点的互动方式，这些方式可能会在不同人群中引发共情感受。从这一角度取得的进展可能会在当前和未来的健康危机中引起公众的极大兴趣，并有助于当局制定创新的社会项目，而这应该是进一步科学探究的重点。
