Abstract
"Using 47 members of a social fraternity as subjects, two measures of empathy were correlated. These were the Dymond Test, a measure of individual empathy, and a procedure devised by Norman and Ainsworth for the measurement of mass empathy....Projection does enter as a factor in both tests, more seriously in the mass approach than in the individual approach, probably because there are more inferential judgments in the former than in the latter.".Keywords
