Abstract
12 medical-surgical nurses, 12 psychiatric nurses, 10 intensive care nurses, 10 hospital administrators, and 10 psychiatrists were administered the California Psychological Inventory. Protocols were scored for 18 scales plus Hogan's Empathy Scale. Significant differences were found between groups and the medical-surgical nurses scored lowest on all scales. The scores for all groups were combined and correlations between the Empathy Scale and other CPI scales were computed. Factor 2 scales, Interpersonal Adequacy, scores had the highest correlations with the Empathy Scale.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
