Abstract

  The purpose of the present research was to clarify influences that attribution of an event and intimacy with another person have on positive and negative feelings when one has sympathy with the other.  University students (N=304) completed a questionnaire evaluating the affect they had when sympathizing with another, after having read a story describing sympathy with an illness, a scholastic failure, or personal problems.  For all the stories, dejection was higher in those students who attributed the cause of the problem to low ability than in those who attributed it to interference from another person or to bad luck.  Reported pleasure was higher, and repulsion lower, in relation to persons close to the respondent than to unknown persons.  Dejection varied according to the attribution of the negative events, whereas pleasure and repulsion varied according to the degree of intimacy with the other.
