https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-7235-2021-2-6-20

Abstract

Aim. To adapt the A Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy - QCAE on a Russian-speaking sample and to test the hypothesis about the relationship between empathy and the components of emotional intelligence. Methodology. This study included the translation of the questionnaire, checking its factor structure, validating the questionnaire in the Russian-speaking sample, identifying the links between the QCAE scales and the Emotional Intelligence questionnaire. Results. The convergent validity of the questionnaire was established, and the differentiating role of highlighting the cognitive and emotional components of empathy was shown. Cognitive empathy is positively associated with interpersonal emotional intelligence, while affective empathy is negatively associated with intrapersonal emotional intelligence. Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the development of tools for diagnosing and determining the level of empathy.
