Abstract
â¢Preschoolers showed Infant-oriented responses despite evidence of self-focused distress.â¢Personal distress did not relate to disengagement from the distressed infant.â¢The interaction between empathic concern and cognitive inquiry predicted helping actions.
Using a simulated long bout of progressively intense infant crying, this study demonstrated that preschoolers responded with infant-oriented empathic concern and helping actions despite evidence of self-focused distress. Preschoolers' helping actions were predicted by the interaction between empathic concern and cognitive inquiry.
