The effects of empathy, gender, and training on the ability to identify 4 infant cry-signals (birth, hunger, pain, and pleasure) were studied in 89 college students (ages 18 to 30 yr.), all of whom were low in experience as caregivers to infants. Subjects with training scored significantly higher than those without in identifying all but the pleasure cry-signal. Subjects low in empathy scored significantly better than subjects high in empathy in recognizing the birth cry-signal. Gender made no difference. Brief training may make the crucial difference in the development of this ability. Implications for parenting and infant care are discussed.
在89名大学生（年龄在18至30岁之间）中研究了共情、性别和培训对识别4种婴儿哭声信号（出生、饥饿、疼痛和愉悦）能力的影响，这些学生作为婴儿照顾者的经验都很少。接受培训的受试者在识别除愉悦哭声信号外的所有信号方面得分显著高于未接受培训的受试者。共情水平低的受试者在识别出生哭声信号方面的得分显著高于共情水平高的受试者。性别没有差异。简短的培训可能会对这种能力的发展产生关键影响。文中讨论了对育儿和婴儿护理的启示。
