SUMMARY:Racial in-group bias in empathy: What\, Why\, and How - Prof. Shih
 ui Han\, Peking University

CONTACT:Rui Sun
DESCRIPTION:Humans empathize with others but not equally. I'll talk about 
 our recent brain imaging research of racial in-group bias in empathic neur
 al responses to others' suffering. These studies demonstrate the key role 
 of social intergroup relationship in emotional understanding and sharing\,
  reveal the neural\, cognitive\, and genetic mechanisms underlying racial 
 in-group bias in empathy\, and illustrate how laboratory manipulations and
  life experiences can reduce the racial in-group bias in empathic neural r
 esponses. The implications of these studies will be discussed.
