Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Empathic Tendencies

    Empathic Tendency Scale (ETS) was developed by Dökmen (1988) to increase empathy potential in daily life. It is a Likert-type scale and consists of 20 questions and each section is given a score from 1 to 5. 3,6,7,8,11,12,13,15 while adding up the points. Questions are collected mutually. The minimum score to be obtained from the scale is 20 and the maximum score is 100. The total score represents the subjects' empathic scores. The higher the score, the higher the empathic feature; The trait of being low indicates that the empathic trait is low. The reliability of the scale is .82.
