Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among several instruments that purport to measure empathy in the counseling process. The results from a correlational and factor analysis indicated a positive and significant relationship between certain measures used in this study. One of the Cline Opinion and Attitude tests, the Dymond‐Smith Model, the Accurate Empathy Scale, the Relationship Questionnaire, and the Discrimination Index appear to measure a construct called interpersonal communication. Other Cline Tests and the Discrimination Index appear to measure other constructs not related to the Rogerian definition of empathy.
