@ShuchenTwit @pkanske @an_reiter Evidence hints at a quadratic age effect on behavioral prosociality, suggesting a peak in midlife

@ShuchenTwit @pkanske @an_reiter Studies which included monetary incentives revealed a stronger linear age effect

[Lena Pollerhoff @LPollerhoff]

@ShuchenTwit @pkanske @an_reiter A linear age effect on prosociality shows that older adults are more prosocial than younger adults

[Lena Pollerhoff @LPollerhoff]

@ShuchenTwit @pkanske @an_reiter Lifespan meta-analysis combines data from 120 samples (n = 103,829) on prosociality

adolescents have a reputation of being moody - it was fun to think with @GregorovaKlara @eraneldar and @ldeserno about how mood swings in adolescence might be explained with reinforcement learning -- new preprint here: https://t.co/5jK3oVaWEm happy about any feedback!!

"Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at others woe" - Homer ~700BCE. I love this quote. It shows #empathy has a short history as a word, but a long past as a concept. Was Homer right that we are taught by time to empathize? #scicomm 1/2

But small age effects were found for the daily experience of empathy, with increasing empathy across the adult lifespan, showing a peak in midlife!

[Lena Pollerhoff @LPollerhoff]

Happy to share my first first-author paper from my PhD! "Investigating adult age differences in real‑life empathy, prosociality, and well‑being using experience sampling", just published today!

[Lena Pollerhoff @LPollerhoff]

By analyzing smartphone based experience sampling data collected from participants across the adult lifespan, we did not find too much evidence of age-related increases in prosociality and well-being (contrary to what is often times assumed in the current literature).

1 Dogs are known for their ability to cooperate with humans and read our social cues. But are these skills biologically prepared? To find out, we tested 375 puppies at 8.5 weeks on 4 social cognition tasks (task descriptions: https://t.co/aETequNBce) #AnimBehav2021 #Cognition
