Individuals commonly encounter and respond to the emotional events of others, both in daily life and through the consumption of various forms of popular entertainment. The present dissertation examines emotion-congruent responding to others' emotional experiences, which we call an empathic emotion response. Results across six studies provide evidence that empathic emotion has benefits for the individual who experiences it. Through two studies (Chapter 1), we first demonstrate that the mere experience of empathic emotion towards another's happiness or sadness can influence self-perceptions. Findings revealed that both empathic positive and negative emotion could lead an individual to report being a better, more prosocial person. In a second set of studies (Chapter 2), we provide evidence that empathic emotion can carry interpersonal benefits for the individual who expresses it, by increasing outsiders' evaluations. Results revealed that a target's expression of emotion (regardless of whether it was clear empathic emotion) enhanced observers' impressions of the target; however, there were some cases in which empathic emotion expression in particular increased outsiders' ratings to the greatest degree. In a final set of studies (Chapter 3), we demonstrate that individual differences in trait grandiose and vulnerable narcissism influence how individuals respond to entertainment featuring others' good fortune or misfortune. These findings revealed unique disruptions in empathic emotion responding that are associated with each type of narcissism --namely, grandiose narcissism was associated with less enjoyment of entertainment depicting others' happiness and success, and vulnerable narcissism was associated with more enjoyment of entertainment depicting others' misfortunes. Taken together, the six studies within this dissertation suggest that empathic emotion can have intrapersonal and interpersonal benefits for those who experience it. Furthermore, individual difference factors play an important role in predicting empathic emotion responses, as well as the benefits that one receives from the process. More broadly, the current dissertation highlights that empathic emotion experiences are indeed distinct from other forms of emotional responding -- such as emotion responses to non-social stimuli or incongruent-emotion responses to social stimuli -- both in its consequences and who is most drawn to it.
