Batson and Week has worked on the mood effects of unsuccessful helping (1996), Chikovani et al. has worked on empathy cost (2015) and Stocks, Lopez-Pérez, and Oceja about distress, empathy et rumination (2016). We know now the negative effect of the personal distress and the empathy, but how the empathic person perceives a victim or a person in the need when the subject/agent is helplessness/powerless ? When the level of personal distress can not decrease. Do we know the impacts at the interpersonal level ?
