Spreng, R. N., McKinnon, M. C., Mar, R. A., & Levine, B. (2009). The toronto empathy questionnaire:
Scale development and initial validation of a factor-analytic solution to multiple empathy measures.
Journal of Personality Assessment, 91, 62-71.
Background:
This questionnaire consists of 16 questions, each rated on a five point scale from 'never' to 'often'. It was
developed by reviewing other available empathy instruments, determining what these instruments had in
common, and deriving a single factor that became the basis of the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire
(TEQ). The TEQ conceptualises empathy as a primarily emotional process. The instrument has been
shown to be positively correlated with measures of social decoding, other empathy measures, and to be
negatively correlated with measures of autism symptomatology.
Psychometrics:
The questionnaire has been shown to have high internal consistency, construct validity, and testretest
reliability (Spreng et al., 2009).
