Resumen

La neurociencia social sugiere que la cultura contextualiza, motiva e influye en la cognición y la función cerebral, e incluye la interacción de mecanismos biológicos adaptativos y de experiencias moldeadas culturalmente. La compasión es una emoción moral apropiada para comprender la cognición social, ya que involucra tanto factores biológicos como culturales para percibir el sufrimiento de otros y actuar por el bienestar social. Este artículo integra algunas investigaciones realizadas en México para estudiar la compasión utilizando evaluaciones psicométricas de experiencias emocionales, registros etnográficos en poblaciones mayas, el registro de la función cerebral en policías y análisis teóricos que vinculan la compasión con la violencia. Proponemos un sistema neurocognitivo triple de la compasión que involucra la empatía, funciones ejecutivas y memoria. También planteamos el uso de métodos etnográficos para diseñar estudios de neuroimagen e interpretar la función cerebral de grupos particulares.
