Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Perceived Empathic Self-Efficacy and Social Self-Efficacy Scale

  The scale was developed by Di Giunta et al. (2010), and the Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Akın and Başören. The scale comprises 11 items and two dimensions, with respondents invited to indicate their level of agreement on a five-point Likert scale, where 1 represents a complete disagreement and 5 represents complete agreement. The items are distributed according to the two subscales, namely perceived empathic self-efficacy (items 1-6) and perceived social self-efficacy (items 7-11). A high score on the first sub-dimension of the scale, empathic self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of responding empathically to the needs and feelings of others. A high score on the second sub-dimension, social self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of initiating and managing interpersonal relationships.
