Question 81

Romantic Empathy Study

A psychologist investigating empathy in romantic relationships developed a self-report Romantic Empathy Questionnaire (REQ) for use with a cohort of 120 newlyweds. The questionnaire provided an empathy score for each participant on a scale of 0 to 40, where 0 represents no empathy and 40 represents extremely high empathy in their relationship.

The psychologist calculated the measures of central tendency for these empathy scores:

  • Mean empathy score = 24.2
  • Median empathy score = 20.5
  • Mode empathy score = 15.0
