Total scores are computed by summing responses to all of the items, while factor scores involve summing items that measure a particular factor. The range of total scores is from 0 to 80 points, with higher scores indicating greater empathy. While cognitive empathy is assessed by the Cognitive Empathy Factor and includes such items as,”I am good at predicting how someone will feel,” emotional 
empathy is GW 5074 site measured by the Emotional Reactivity factor through items such as, “I get upset if I see people suffering on news programs.” Emotional empathy as measured by this scale is more similar to the construct of emotion contagion than sympathy. The Social Skills 
factor does not measure empathy but rather assesses individuals’ perceptions of their ability to interact socially with others, for example,”I find it hard to know what to do in a social situation” (which is a reverse-scored item). get SB-1317 Questionnaire Measure of Empathic Tendency. The Questionnaire Measure of Empathic Tendency (QMET) was designed to measure dispositional emotional empathy in healthy adults (Mehrabian and Epstein, 1972). The split-half reliability for this scale in healthy adults is .84. The QMET has demonstrated good construct validity in healthy adults through its association with other measures of empathy such as the IRI-EC [males: r(225)=.63, p<.05, females: r(235)=.56, p<.05] and the IRI-PT [males: r(225)=.22, p<.05; females: r(235)=.17, p<.05; Davis,Table 2 | Trait empathy: reliability.
