In this study, an exploratory mixed-method approach was employed to investigate the attitudes of Iranians and Americans toward each other, specifically focusing on two critical incidents in their modern history. Drawing from quantitative and qualitative data collected in relation to the hostage crisis in 1979, the missile attack on an Iranian passe...

Using a scoping review technique, we provide a comprehensive overview of empathy definitions by highlighting the multidimensional nature of empathy. Drawing from multiple lines of research on empathy, we underscore the role of culture in researching empathy and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of existing research on empathy and culture. In g...

In the present study, we explored the best regression models that explain the develop- mental path of dispositional empathy among Iranian participants using Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA). BMA, a data-driven analysis method, was employed to identify the most likely candidate regression models given the collected data. We reported the best regressio...

Focusing on empathic behavior of Iranians, Americans, and Biculturals, this paper investigated how living as a bicultural in a culturally different environment affects situational empathy and intergroup empathy bias. Findings show participants’ cultural background and group identity significantly impacted their empathic responsiveness in favor of p...

Purpose Although researchers have examined empathy among many populations worldwide, investigations of empathy among Farsi-speakers are limited. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) for Farsi-speakers (IRI-Farsi). Methods After translating, we explored psychometric propert...

In this study, we investigated Iranian high school students' preferences and beliefs about two types of form-focused instruction (FFI) for teaching and learning grammar, namely isolated FFI and integrated FFI. Using an adapted version of the questionnaire developed by Valeo and Spada (2016), we collected data from a large sample of senior high scho...

Previous research suggests that prior experience of pain affects the expression of empathy. However, most of these studies attended to physical pain despite evidence indicating that other forms of pain may also affect brain activity and emotional states in similar ways. To address this limitation, we compared empathic responses of 33 participants,...

Previous studies have demonstrated a link between prior experience of physical pain and empathic response within similar settings. However, much less is known about emotional hurt derived from psychologically painful situations and the expression of empathy, despite evidence that different types of pain can be experienced in similar ways. Using qua...

The affective and cognitive components of empathy have been extensively researched in various disciplines. However, little is known about how these components are influenced by individual differences in maturation or development. Acknowledging such a gap in the literature, the current study examined how individual differences (i.e., age, gender, an...

Although researchers have studied empathy among many populations, there are few studies in which researchers have focused on empathy among Farsi speakers. We explore the psychometric properties of a Farsi translation of the Empathy Quotient (EQ), and compare the degree to which the items function in a comparable way to the English version of the it...

Acknowledging the distinction between two types of form-focused instruction (FFI) on grammar, this study investigated learners and teachers' stated beliefs about isolated and integrated FFI. Placed in two major groups (ESL and EFL), 120 teachers and 280 learners were recruited from college-wide Intensive English Programs in Iran and USA. The analys...

The extent to which individuals with a variety of cultural backgrounds differ in empathic responsiveness is unknown. This paper describes the differences in trait empathy in one independent and one interdependent society (i.e., United States and Iran respectively). The analysis of data collected from self-reported questionnaires answered by 326 adu...

Isolated and integrated grammar instruction are two approaches to grammar teaching that can be implemented within a form-focused instruction (FFI) framework. In both approaches, instructors primarily concentrate on meaning, and the difference is in the timing of instruction on specific language forms. In previous studies, researchers have observed...
