The relation of 8- to 10-year-olds' teacher-reported dispositional sympathy to regulation and emotionality was examined with a longitudinal sample. In general, sympathy was correlated with adults' reports of regulation and low negative emotionality contemporaneously and, to some degree, 2 and 4 years prior. General emotional intensity interacted with some aspects of regulation in predicting sympathy; for example, attention focusing predicted sympathy but only for children low in general emotional intensity. In general, the pattern of correlations changed little from age 6-8 to age 8-10 years, although parent-reported negative emotionality was more highly negatively related to sympathy at the older age. Dispositional sympathy was associated with verbal or physiological markers of sympathy in a laboratory setting.
通过一个纵向样本，研究了8至10岁儿童教师报告的特质性同情与调节能力和情绪之间的关系。总体而言，同情与成年人对调节能力的报告以及当下和在一定程度上2年及4年前的低负面情绪相关。在预测同情方面，一般情绪强度与调节能力的某些方面存在交互作用；例如，注意力集中能预测同情，但仅适用于一般情绪强度较低的儿童。总体而言，从6至8岁到8至10岁，相关模式变化不大，尽管在较大年龄时，家长报告的负面情绪与同情的负相关程度更高。在实验室环境中，特质性同情与同情的言语或生理指标相关。
