Abstract

Autizam je neurorazvojni poremećaj obilježen različitim funkcioniranjem na području
socijalne komunikacije, mišljenja i ponašanja.
Empatija je sposobnost koja nam omogućuje da razumijemo kako se druga osoba osjeća ili o
čemu razmišlja, da shvatimo njene namjere i predvidimo njeno ponašanje. Empatija ima dvije
dimenzije – kognitivnu i afektivnu. Važnost empatije za čovjekove društvene interakcije i
suradnju među ljudima neupitna je i stoga je predmet brojnih istraživanja. Kod osoba na
spektru primijećene su teškoće u prepoznavanju mentalnih stanja drugoga te se iz tog razloga
kod ove populacije istražuje postojanje empatije. S druge strane, problemom dvostruke
empatije objašnjava se međudjelovanje svih pojedinaca koji u socijalnim interakcijama
sudjeluju te se nudi novo objašnjenje socijalnih deficita autističnih osoba.
U ovom je radu predstavljen teorijski okvir empatije u kontekstu autizma, kao i pregled
istraživanja koja se bave ispitivanjem empatije kod osoba na spektru.

Abstract (english)

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by different functioning in the areas of
social communication, thinking, and behavior.
Empathy is the ability that allows us to understand how another person is feeling or thinking,
to understand their intentions, and to predict their behavior. Empathy has two dimensions -
cognitive and affective. The importance of empathy for human social interactions and
cooperation among people is unquestionable and is therefore the subject of numerous studies.
Difficulties in recognizing the mental states of the other have been observed in people on the
spectrum and for this reason the existence of empathy is being investigated in this population.
On the other hand, the double empathy problem explains the interaction of all individuals who
participate in social interactions and offers a new explanation for the social deficits of autistic
people.
This paper presents the theoretical framework of empathy in the context of autism, as well as
an overview of research that examines empathy in people on the spectrum.
