Empathy as a Socio-Psychological Determinant of Suggestibilityin a Medium-Size Group
This article covers studies of empathy as a socio-psychological determinant of suggestibility in the medium-size group. One of the main problems of modern social psychology is that most of data result from studies of small-size groups. Understanding of the socio-psychological nature of suggestibility is based on the materials obtained in this kind of studies, which would not be correct also for medium-size social communities. The relevance of our work is dictated by insufficient knowledge of the impact of empathy on suggestibility in the medium-size group. It defines the purpose of this study: to determine whether empathy is a social-psychological determinant of suggestibility in the medium-size groups.
