1. Empathy
Empathy is the capacity to feel or understand what another person must be going
through from within their referral frame, that is, the capacity of placing one’s own self
in the position of another person. Empathy can be defined using a broad range of
states which are emotional ones. These may include helping and caring for other
people. So this basically revolves around the matching of emotions of two or more
persons. Thus its characterization is derived from the manner in which emotions
themselves are characterized. There are two major classifications of empathy:
affective and cognitive. The former involves the capacity of responding to the mental
state of another person with emotions which are appropriate. Cognitive empathy is
about understanding the mental state of another person.
