Nieuwe pagina aangemaakt met 'Transactional behavior means thinking and acting in terms of direct exchange: "if you do this, then I will do that." It is a linear, first-degree form of thinking, with little room for implicit context or nuance. In human relationships, this often leads to major misunderstandings and misinterpretations of each other's behavior.' |

=== | === Low- versus high-contextual === | ||
* High-contextual individuals generally have strong cognitive empathy. As a result, their emotional empathy is better attuned to context and often more appropriate in social situations. | |||
* | * Low-contextual individuals have limited cognitive empathy. Their emotional response is therefore less attuned to the environment. This resembles more of a reflexive form of sharing emotion: '''sympathy'''. | ||

{{Casus|Person B enters the train and struggles to place his suitcase in the luggage rack. | |||
* Person A recognizes from Person B’s face that this causes effort and frustration → cognitive empathy. | |||
* Person A feels frustration himself by seeing this → emotional empathy. | |||
* A high-contextual person will respond in a way attuned to the situation (for example, calmly offering help). | |||
* A low-contextual person may show a less appropriate emotional response (overreacting emotionally, without grasping the situation).}} | |||
< | {{Casus|Another form of being cognitively misaligned: the husband is working hard, but the heavy lifting causes pain in his shoulders. He looks distressed. She notices his facial expression, but due to her low-contextuality she cannot link it to the heavy work. She therefore thinks he is 'angry'. Because she believes he is angry, she reacts with anger toward him. The husband feels misunderstood and doubly punished.}} | ||
<span id="Conclusie"></span> | |||
=== Conclusion === | |||
Low-contextual individuals certainly have a form of empathy, but it is less attuned to context. | |||
This is more often referred to as '''sympathy''' (a reflexive form) rather than full emotional empathy. | |||
A full form of emotional empathy takes into account both the input ''(what is really happening here?)'' and the output ''(how can I best respond in this situation?)''. | |||
