We analyze the sources of two politically relevant, yet opposing emotions: empathy and Schadenfreude. We propose that group and individual-level political factors affect empathy and Schadenfreude toward other groups. Using a survey experiment conducted in Lebanon we find that, when presented with a prompt about political repression, respondents are less likely to express empathy and more likely to express Schadenfreude when victims of political repression were from the out-group perceived as their group’s most recent antagonist. At the individual level, those more involved in their in-group’s community are generally more likely to feel Schadenfreude and less likely to express empathy.

黎巴嫩的自白与同情政治
我们分析了两种与政治相关但又对立的情感的来源:同情和Schadenfreude。我们建议,群体和个人层面的政治因素会影响同理心和沙登弗洛伊德对其他群体的感情。通过在黎巴嫩进行的一项调查实验,我们发现,当出现政治压迫的提示时,当政治压迫的受害者来自被认为是他们组织的最新成员的外部群体时,受访者不太可能表达同理心,而更有可能表达沙登弗洛伊德拮抗剂。在个人层面上,那些更多地参与小组内社区活动的人通常更有可能感觉到Schadenfreude,而不太可能表达同情心。
