Tal-Chen Rabinowitch & Edwin Rutsch: How to Build a Culture of Empathy with Music Arts
Fostering Empathy
With the Arts
"Marcie Sillman talks to Dr. Tal-Chen Rabinowitch from the University of Washington's Institute For Learning and Brain Science about her new research on how synchronicity creates feelings of empathy and familiarity between strangers. "
"Researchers have found that a physical activity performed
together in unison or even a video game played together in sync on a
computer could increase the empathy of kids as it helps children feel
more positively toward one another.
The study showed that eight-year-olds reported a greater sense of
similarity and closeness immediately after playing the video game in
sync, those who played the same game but not in a synchronous way did
not report the same increase in connection."
Long-term
musical group interaction has a positive influence on empathy in
children "Musical group interaction (MGI) is a complex social setting requiring certain cognitive skills that may also elicit shared psychological states. We argue that many MGI-specific features may also be important for emotional empathy, the ability to experience another person’s emotional state. We thus hypothesized that long-term repeated participation in MGI could help enhance a capacity for emotional empathy even outside of the musical context, through a familiarization with and refinement of MGI empathy-promoting musical components (EPMCs). We tested this hypothesis by designing an MGI programme for primary school children consisting of interactive musical games implementing various EPMCs. "
"New research suggests that understanding the emotional state of others is something that can be learned and practiced. Schools could one day add “empathy education” to their curriculum. New research suggests that understanding the emotional state of others is something that can be learned and practiced. According to a study published in the July issue of Psychology of Music, playing musical games can help cultivate a sense of empathy in children. "by Eric W. Dolan

"Music can make us feel nostalgic, melancholy, or energized. It can make
us want to dance. And, a new study suggests, it can make us feel more
connected to other people, especially when we play music together. The
study, recently published online in Psychology
of Music, suggests that interacting with others through music makes
us more emotionally attuned to other people, even beyond the musical
setting."

Making Music Together Increases Kids’ Empathy Music education produces myriad benefits, strengthening kids’ abilities in reading, math, and verbal intelligence. New British research suggests it may also teach something less tangible, but arguably just as important: The ability to empathize."
