Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v54 n1 p24-41 2021
Empathy for mental health professionals is often inferred from dispositional assessments that misrepresent the temporal, contextual, and multidimensional nature of empathy. This article presents the State-Interpersonal Reactivity Index, a multidimensional assessment of in-session empathy for mental health professionals. Results suggest good construct and incremental validity evidence for participant scores.
