      abstract     = {An increasing body of research suggests that empathic
                      traits at high levels may predict negative affectivity.
                      Here, we investigate the combinatory and differential role
                      of affective (personal distress, empathic concern) and
                      cognitive (perspective taking) facets of empathy for their
                      contribution to negative affectivity in two general
                      population samples (N1 = 259, N2 = 938). A latent profile
                      analysis revealed four combinatory groups of affective and
                      cognitive empathic facets (i.e., high affective high
                      cognitive [A+/C+], high affective low cognitive [A+/C-], low
                      affective high cognitive [A-/C+], low affective low
                      cognitive [A-/C-]). These groups were differentially
                      associated with negative affectivity, showing that greater
                      affective empathy was associated with increased negative
                      affect. Moreover, moderation and subsidiary simple slopes
                      analyses demonstrated that self-oriented affective empathy
                      (personal distress) was generally positively associated with
                      depression and anxiety. In case of depressive
                      symptomatology, this correlation was lower under
                      circumstances of high cognitive empathy, but only in the
                      larger, second sample. Other-oriented affective empathy
                      (empathic concern) was not related to negative affect. Our
                      findings suggest that enhanced self-focused affective
                      empathy may be associated with exaggerated involvement in
                      the emotional experience of others, with the potential to
                      reduce the negative correlation of accurate emotion
                      recognition with negative affect.},
