Hey @nikolanikola 😊

It's so good to see your comment. And what a comment! I like how you used a relevant, relatable example to illustrate the study by Riva and Andrigetto. That is a line of study that explores issues like the one you raised here as well as those regarding prejudice. It is definitely a delicate topic. Because when you approach it from an evolutionary perspective you understand why this is the case.

However, this doesn't justify the atrocities that still take place around the world as a result of intergroup conflicts. Especially now that we know better. But like you said, when it becomes political ... well, yeah it is whole different situation.

I am glad to hear you find this topic interesting. There are so many different ways psychology can address empathy (neuropsychology, cognitive, developmental etc..), without a doubt, the social perspective is the one that fascinates me the most.

Everything is fine over here and I hope this is the same for you and all your loved ones too! Oh, and before I forget: Look 😘 😘 Two! 😏 I am obviously feeling generous today! :P
