I was discussing something similar with my girlfriend the other day, about how differently we react for example to the same newspaper article. If it's about a heinous crime of some sort, her first reaction is empathising with the victims and their family whereas my I start immediately trying to work out in my head what kind of social circumstances lead people to perpetrate such crimes - basically analyzing the situation rather than somehow feeling strongly one way or another. Which usually leads to her getting frustrated after not being able to get me to express how I feel about shit, as opposed to what I think.
