Conceptualising and Measuring Empathy (2010, background): “In sum, there seems to be a growing level of agreement in the social science literature regarding the importance of empathic accuracy, and the belief that empathy includes both an automatic physiological reaction (affective sharing) and the cognitive process of perspective taking (Spreng et al., 200”
Conduct Disorder, Aggression and Delinquency (2009, background): “Similar, they found that low emotional empathy (but not low cognitive empathy) was related to bullying (Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006b).”
Moral Disengagement, Normative Beliefs of Peer Group, and Attitudes Regarding Roles in Bullying (2009, neutral): “The BES ( Jolliffe, & Farrington, 2006 ), has 20 items and uses a 5-point Likert scale: 1 = strongly disagree , 2 = disagree , 3 = neither agree, nor disagree, 4 = agree , and 5 = strongly agree .”
Unique and Interactive Effects of Moral Emotions and Moral Disengagement on Bullying and Defending among School Children (2015, background): “…& Dalbert, 2008; Gini, Albiero, Benelli, & Altoè, 2007), whereas students with a low level of empathy are more likely to take the bully role (Correia & Dalbert, 2008; Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006; Stavrinides, Georgiou, & Theofanous, 2010) or display pro-bullying behavior (Gini et al., 2007).”
Enhancing Empathy and Theory of Mind (2012, methodology): “Dispositional empathy was measured via the Basic Empathy Scale for adolescents (Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006).”
Development and Validation of a Self-Report Measure of Mentalizing: The Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (2016, methodology): “The RFQ_C was, as expected, positively related to other measures of internally based mentalizing, such as the BES and mindfulness as assessed with the MAAS, but was, against expectations, not related to perspective-taking.”
Social robots for education: A review (2018, neutral): “Basic empathy scale, self-report of empathy (82)”
A lifespan perspective on attachment and care for others: Empathy, altruism, and prosocial behavior (2016, background): “Another study using the IPPA found evidence for a model wherein attachment to mother and/or peers affects bullying behavior in seventh, eighth, and ninth graders indirectly via their self-reported empathy on the Basic Empathy Scale (BES; Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006).”
The emotional deficits associated with the Dark Triad traits: Cognitive empathy, affective empathy, and alexithymia (2013, methodology): “Whereas the Basic Empathy Scale measured affective empathy as affect congruence, it is also thought to refer to the generation of an appropriate emotional reaction in response to others’ emotions (Feshbach, 1987).”
Correlational and exploratory factor analyses (EFA) of commonly used empathy questionnaires: New insights (2014, methodology): “Additionally, even though the IRI has demonstrated relatively strong test–retest reliability and internal consistency (Davis 1980; Johnson 2012), previous researchers have challenged the validity of its subfactors (Lawrence et al. 2004; Jolliffe and Farrington 2006).”
