Will children feel sad when others cry? Can they detect other people’s emotional changes and respond gently? These small superficial details actually reveal the child’s development level in ‘social, emotional and intellectual ability’.
IQ (IQ) is not the only key in the process of children’s growth. Another indicator called ‘social success’ by many psychologists - empathetic qualities (EQ), is attracting increasing attention.
What is empathetic quotient?
Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a psychological concept used to measure a person’s empathy ability (also known as empathy ability). It mainly reflects a person’s ability to understand other people’s emotions, feelings, intentions and emotional responses to them. Simply put, it is whether a person can understand other people’s emotions, put himself in his shoes, and make appropriate emotional responses. Children with high empathy are often more likely to make friends, resolve conflicts, and are more likely to win the love of teachers and peers.
Difference between empathy quotient vs. Emotional Intelligence (EI):
- Emotional Quotes Number (EQ) is part of emotional quotient, focusing on “understanding others.”
- Emotional Intelligence (EI) Including self-awareness, self-management, social skills, motivation, and empathy.
Core content of empathy quotient:
- Cognitive Empathy: Be able to accurately identify and understand other people’s emotions, opinions or psychological states. For example: Knowing that friends are silent may be because they are sad, not angry.
- Affective Empathy: Resonate with others’ emotions and empathize with them. For example: When you see others crying, you feel uncomfortable.
- Compassionate Empathy: Not only do you understand and feel, but you are also willing to take action to help others. For example: When you see a homeless man, you will take the initiative to send hot meals or clothes.
How to measure empathy quotient?
Simon Baron-Cohen, a professor of psychology at the University of Cambridge, and others have developed the Empathy Quotient Scale, which includes a series of statements about interpersonal relationships and emotional responses. Participants need to score based on their own recognition. The empathetic qualities scale is also often used to study the relationship between autism spectrum disorder and empathy ability.
