Mar et al., in a study of 94 participants, identified that the primary mode of literature that increases empathy is fiction, as opposed to non-fiction.

Linguistic empathy in theoretical linguistics is the "point of view" in an anaphoric utterance by which a participant is bound with or in the event or state that they describe in that sentence.

Emotion reflection helps to establish empathy with a speaker so that he/she feels appreciated and understood.
