4. Level of Social Perspective Taking and the Development of Empathy in Children: Speculations from a Social-Cognitive Viewpoint

Author

Selman, Robert

Abstract

A cognitive-developmental approach to the phenomenon of empathy attempts to describe the age related (but not age specific) development of empathic understanding as a function of the development of basic social-cognitive processes and concepts.
