From LiveScience Managing Editor Jeanna Bryner:
College students today are less likely to “get” the emotions of others than their counterparts 20 and 30 years ago, a new review study suggests.
Specifically, today’s students scored 40 percent lower on a measure of empathy than their elders did.
The findings are based on a review of 72 studies of 14,000 American college students overall conducted between 1979 and 2009.
