Our propensity for emotional intelligence changes through life, but not necessarily in the way you would assume. Yes, your quality and quantity of empathy evolve through your social and pain-related experiences throughout life, but that is not the only factor.

Researchers measured brain activity while participants viewed painful situations, finding that empathy responses develop with age but peak in young adulthood.
