New paper alert! We found that when helping others, depressed ppl use less emphatic responding and more acceptance than non-depressed ppl. Great work by @AtheerMassarwe published in Emotion 👏👏👏 @UofHaifa

Thrilled to share that my paper is officially out! It highlights the strategies individuals with varying depression symptoms use to support others. Written during my late mother's battle with cancer, I dedicate this work to her memory. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi… @NogaCohen2

Our findings suggest that fostering emotional empathy for joy (not just distress) could play a crucial role in supporting positive social development in children.
