An experimental evaluation of the sensitivity of the Empathy Test

Abstract

Form A of the Empathy Test was mailed to fifty Fellows each of the Division of Experimental and Clinical and Abnormal Psychology. Thirty-four usable returns were received from the "experimentalists," and 25 from the "clinicians." Assuming that "clinicians" are higher on empathy than "experimentalists," the Empathy Test did not reflect this difference. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
