Possible reasons for these results are also discussed.ĭavis MH (1980) A multidimensional approach to individual differences in empathy. Mainly two variables (Considerate Social Style and Impassiveness) were capable of distinguishing between men and women. The results convey that the proposed model is invariant between boys and girls, although the dimensions exhibited significant differences of magnitude as a function of sex. Second, it aims to determine which dimensions involved in empathy most strongly predict gender differences. First, it aims to determine, conceptually speaking, whether or not the model analyzed by this instrument is equivalent for the two sexes.
Attending to gender differences, the present study’s objective is twofold. The Interpersonal Reactivity Index (Davis in Catalog Sel Documents Psychol 10:1–19, 1980) is an instrument made up of four subscales, each measuring a different dimension of the global concept of empathy. Empathy is understood as a multidimensional construct involving both cognitive and emotional factors for which, traditionally, gender differences have been reported.
