empathies
Understanding others' emotions
Empathies is the plural of empathy, referring to multiple instances or types of the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.
The plural form appears in academic and psychological contexts when distinguishing between different kinds of empathic response—cognitive empathy (understanding another's perspective) versus affective empathy (feeling what another feels).
The study examined how different empathies develop in children.
