Empathy (affective sensitivity) was hypothesized to be positively related to creativity and expressiveness and inversely related to dogmatism, when gender and age were controlled. Participants were 56 graduate students enrolled in counseling and educational psychology courses at a large southwestern (U.S.) university. Participants were administered the Affective Sensitivity Scale (Kagan & Schneider, 1977) to measure empathy, the Statement of Past Creative Activities (Bull & Davis, 1980) to measure creativity, the Opinion Scale (Kleiber, Veldman, & Menaker, 1973) to measure dogmatism, and the Extended Personal Attributes Questionnaire (Spence, Helmreich, & Holahan, 1979) to measure expressiveness. The results of multiple regressions provide support for the hypotheses that empathy is positively related to creativity and inversely related to dogmatism, but the results do not support the hypothesized positive relationship between empathy and expressiveness. Implications of these findings for persons serving as counselors and counselor educators are discussed.
假设在控制性别和年龄的情况下，同理心（情感敏感度）与创造力和表现力呈正相关，与教条主义呈负相关。参与者为美国西南部一所大型大学参加咨询与教育心理学课程的56名研究生。参与者接受了情感敏感度量表（卡根和施耐德，1977年）以测量同理心、过去创造性活动陈述量表（布尔和戴维斯，1980年）以测量创造力、意见量表（克莱伯、维尔德曼和梅纳克，1973年）以测量教条主义，以及扩展个人属性问卷（斯彭斯、赫尔姆赖希和霍拉汉，1979年）以测量表现力。多元回归结果支持了同理心与创造力呈正相关且与教条主义呈负相关的假设，但结果不支持同理心与表现力之间假设的正相关关系。讨论了这些发现对担任咨询师和咨询师教育工作者的人的启示。
