The Development and Validation of a Semantic Measure of Counselor Empathy.

Bellucci, Jo-Ann Elizabeth; Altekruse, Michael K.

The primary purpose of this study was to develop and validate a measure of counselor empathy. A pilot study was conducted with 72 undergraduate students and 12 graduate students in order to develop the Empathic Differential (ED)D. Twenty-one bi-polar objectives were yielded significant through intercorrelation analysis. The validation study yielded a significant correlation between The Empathic Differential (ED)D and A Scale for the Measurement of Accurate Empathy. (Author)
