现任作者对Arthur Pabst和Pierre Maurage对原文的评论的答复(见记录2023-98310-009)(见记录2022-67677-001)。两位作者不同意应该优先考虑同理心行为任务,而不是自我报告的问卷,以确定目标能力。帕布斯特和莫里奇认为,行为任务更受欢迎,因为AUD患者可能不能很好地判断他们的同理心能力,而自我报告的同理心测量与行为测量的相关性很弱。他们认为,移情行为任务准确地传达了关于移情的信息,而自我报告则不能。我们发现这是有问题的,原因有两个。首先,除了假设对同理心能力缺乏洞察力之外,还有理论和方法上的解释来解释同理心自我报告和行为测量之间的弱关联。从理论上讲,弱联系可能是因为同理心自我报告和行为任务需要不同的反应过程。行为任务关注的是共鸣能力的瞬间“行为快照”,可能会受到情境特征(如情绪、动机)的影响,而自我报告问卷则要求个体反思和平均他们在各种现实生活情景中的共鸣。在方法论上,移情自我报告和行为测量之间的弱关联可能是因为后者的心理测量学特性较差和/或缺乏生态有效性。同理心的自我报告测量在年轻的同理心科学中起着基础性的作用,元分析可以根据理论帮助揭示哪些地方可能存在重要的预测性关联。(心理信息数据库记录(C)2024 APA,保留所有权利)
Reply by the current authors to the comments made by Arthur Pabst and Pierre Maurage (see record 2023-98310-009) on the original article (see record 2022-67677-001). The authors disagree that empathy behavioral tasks should be prioritized over self-report questionnaires for ‘indexing objective ability.’Pabst and Maurage argue that behavioral tasks are preferred because individuals with AUD may be poor judges of their empathic abilities and self-report empathy measures correlate weakly with behavioral measures. They suggest that empathy behavioral tasks accurately convey information about empathy, whereas self-reports do not. We find this problematic for two reasons. First, there are theoretical and methodological explanations for weak associations between empathy self-report and behavioral measures beyond assuming a lack of insight about empathic abilities. Theoretically, weak associations may be because empathy self-report and behavioral tasks require different response processes. Behavioral tasks focus on in the-moment ‘behavioral snapshots’ of empathic abilities and may be influenced by contextual features (eg mood, motivation), whereas self-report questionnaires ask individuals to reflect on and average their empathy across various real-life situations. Methodologically, weak associations between empathy self reports and behavioral measures may be because of the latter’s poor psychometric properties and/or lack of ecological validity. Self-report measures of empathy play a fundamental role in the young science of empathy, and a meta-analysis can help reveal places where there may be important predictive associations, based on theory.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
