Hi all,
The question in the subject line is concerned with situations in which
the
other person is not embarrassed at all by behavior that, for observers,
is
cringe-inducing. The best example I can think of is this clip of William
Shatner "singing" Rocket Man in 1978 (I've been unable to watch more
than the
first 25 seconds):

The concept of empathy doesn't seem relevant: we typically feel empathy
for
another when they are experiencing a negative response (emotion or
physical
pain) that we understand all too well. In this case, the person we're
observing, and feeling embarrassed for, seems oblivious to the social
awkwardness of their behavior.
Does anyone know of any research on my question?
