Empathic abilities serve important functions in human social interaction, bringing people together and motivating them to help others and be considerate or even selfless. But how early in ontogeny can empathy for others be observed? And when does it begin to show trait-like consistency or to predict later adjustment?

Addressing these and related questions, my talk summarizes key findings from several studies on the development of empathy during infancy, including in the first year of life. The presentation covers conceptual issues, assessment, developmental trajectories, links to child outcomes, and parenting predictors.

This talk is part of the Centre for Child, Adolescent & Family Research Seminar Series series.
