三项研究（N = 1988）描述了情绪传染（EC）量表的发展和验证，这是一个由模仿产生的传入反馈引起的对他人情绪易感性的15项一维测量。研究1.评估EC量表的可靠性（Cronbach's alpha = .90）。研究2发现易感性（a）与反应性、情绪性、对他人的敏感性、社会功能、自尊呈正相关，与移情的情绪模式相关性大于与移情的认知模式相关性;（B）与疏离感、自信心和情绪稳定性呈负相关;（c）与男性气质和认可动机无关。研究3是一项实验，发现EC Scare分数可靠地预测参与者评估中的偏见，并与对传入反馈的反应性和暴露于情绪表达后的情绪体验的自我报告相关。
Three studies (N = 1988) describe the development and validation of the Emotional Contagion (EC) Scale, a 15-item unidimensional measure of susceptibility to others' emotions resulting from afferent feedback generated by mimicry. Study 1. assesses the EC Scale's reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .90). Study 2 finds susceptibility (a) positively related to reactivity, emotionality, sensitivity to others, social functioning, self-esteem, and more associated with emotional than cognitive modes of empathy, (b) negatively related to alienation, self-assertiveness, and emotional stability and, (c) unrelated to masculinity and approval motivation. Study 3, an experiment, finds that EC Scare scores reliably predict biases in participants' evaluations and are correlated with a measure of responsiveness to afferent feedback and self-reports of emotional experience following exposure to emotional expressions.
