- Abstract
- This pilot study aims at reconstructing the empathic profile of conversation participants from their interaction in real-world settings. It addresses the question of how verbal and nonverbal modes converge in conveying information about the emotional and attitudinal behavior in everyday communication. In particular, the empathic ability of older people is explored studying physiological patterning from nonver-bal resources, in relation to emotions expressed through the face. In addition, the IRI psychometric test of empathy provides the participant’s overall empathic profile. The data is taken from the CorpAGEst multimodal corpus, and focuses on the language of four healthy very old women who obtained a normal score on the MoCA cognitive test. Preliminary results indicate that, despite the highly idiosyncratic use of nonverbal resources, some inter- and intra-individual tendencies seem to emerge.
