Sažetak
Research in the area of individual differences in personality, empathy and responses to emotional stimuli is often conducted using self-report measures as indicators of empathy and reactivity to emotional stimuli. However, the literature suggests a disparity between physiological and self-report indicators of emotional responses among individuals. Moreover, some personality traits (i.e. dark personality traits) are related to specific deficits in empathy and emotional reactivity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate if differences in personality traits and empathy are related to differences in electrophysiological responses to emotional stimuli. Study was conducted on a convenience sample of adults. Personality traits and empathy were assessed via self-report measures. After that, participants were exposed to a set of neutral and emotionally intense stimuli presented on a tablet, during which their EEG and hart rate were recorded. The results show interesting personality-related effects on responses to emotional stimuli.
