Which statement can be supported through psychological evidence about mirror neurons' role in altruistic behavior?
Mirror neurons inhibit our ability for empathetic connections, thus reducing chances of altruistic behavior.
Mirror neurons lead individuals toward more aggressive behaviors due to increased competitiveness.
Mirror neurons may enable empathy by allowing us to mentally simulate other's experiences or emotions.
There is no proven connection between mirror neuron activity and either altruistic or aggressive behavior.
