Discussion
Read the following statements :
Assertion (A) : Empathy depends on the ability to understand that others have feelings and to gauge their feelings.
Reason (R) : Emotions and cognition are not related to each other.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: C
A is true but R is false.
Empathy does depend on understanding that other people have feelings of their own and on being able to judge what those feelings are, so the Assertion is correct.
The Reason is wrong. Emotion and cognition are closely related: emotions affect attention, memory and reasoning, and understanding others' feelings is itself a cognitive skill. Empathy is an example of the two working together. With R false, the options calling it true are ruled out, and so is the option calling both false.
