Emotional Response Scale by A. Mehrabyan and N. Epstein

Instructions : Read the statements and rate them based on your agreement or disagreement. The test contains 25 points. Travel time is up to 10 minutes. Mutual understanding is formed on the basis of empathy and sympathy. A sensitive person who is able to put himself in the opponent’s shoes, understand his motives and interests, easily establishes communication and achieves team goals. Empathy is the ability to empathize with other people’s emotions; it is the basis of a peaceful society. We present the methodology of A. Mehrabyan’s emotional response scale online. The test is available free of charge and without registration.

Research shows that emotional empathy is linked to a person's physical health. It also reflects adaptive potential in society and communication skills.

Mehrabyan's questionnaire was modified and supplemented by N. Epstein and is widely used in psychology, pedagogy and sociology. It shows the general ability to empathize, the level of expression of the response and the direction of experiences.

The interpretation of the results is carried out according to the following point rating:

  • 82–90 — increased level;
  • 63–81 — high level;
  • 37–62 - average;
  • 12-36 - low level;
  • less than 12 is an extremely low level.

A developed ability for empathy determines a reluctance to aggression and violence. It is inherent in flexible, soft, compliant, calm people.

The emotional response is accompanied by the following signs and reactions:

  • increased skin sensitivity and increased heart rate;
  • predisposition to tearfulness;
  • close family ties and trusting relationships with parents;
  • a tendency to be altruistic and supportive of strangers;
  • try their best to maintain friendly relations;
  • value positive social manifestations in others;
  • focused on moral assessments.

Increased empathy can interfere with the wearer himself. With it, a person becomes dependent on others, he develops unhealthy vulnerability and resentment. This complicates relationships and can cause the development of psychosomatic disorders.

The average empathy score indicates a rational perception of information, relationships, and emotions. Such people evaluate others by their actions, not their motives. They control their impulsiveness well and communicate and collaborate easily.

A reduced perception of feelings is characteristic of closed, serious people. They do not feel or understand the emotions of other people. Focus exclusively on rationality, logic and facts. They are valued for their responsibility, composure and integrity. But stubbornness, self-confidence and straightforwardness make it difficult to establish friendly relations.

How to increase your level of emotional response

The key to a strong relationship is choosing the right behavioral strategy. Taking into account the interests, needs of the opponent, his manner of speech and behavior allows you to choose the best communication style that will win over and relax the person. To do this, you need to learn to “read” the feelings and impulses of your interlocutor. Developing the ability to hear, mirror behavior and emotions, paraphrase information, assertiveness training and feeling gymnastics are an effective arsenal for developing your empathy.
