Imaging, Empathy, and Causal Attribution.

Fiske, Susan T.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, v15 n4 p356-77 Jul 1979

In a study to test whether imagery accounts for the effects of empathy on attributions, it was determined that the imagery explanation of empathy effects was untenable and that the recall of perspective-relevant details was unlikely to mediate attributions of causality in imaginary scenarios.
