Getting this intuition-deliberation mix right has
great implications. Those whose sympathetic feelings
become too strong may themselves suffer. In
the helping professions, this can lead to compassion
fatigue; in executives, it can create distracting feelings
of anxiety about people and circumstances that
are beyond anyone’s control. But those who protect
themselves by deadening their feelings may lose
touch with empathy. Empathic concern requires
us to manage our personal distress without numbing
ourselves to the pain of others. (See the sidebar
“When Empathy Needs to Be Controlled.”)

What’s more, some lab research suggests that
the appropriate application of empathic concern
is critical to making moral judgments. Brain scans
have revealed that when volunteers listened to tales
of people subjected to physical pain, their own brain
centers for experiencing such pain lit up instantly.
But if the story was about psychological suffering,
the higher brain centers involved in empathic concern
and compassion took longer to activate. Some
time is needed to grasp the psychological and moral
dimensions of a situation. The more distracted we
are, the less we can cultivate the subtler forms of
empathy and compassion.
