متن کاملDevelopment of short forms of the Empathy Quotient (EQ-Short) and the Systemizing Quotient (SQ-Short)
The empathizing–systemizing (E–S) theory has been tested using the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Systemizing Quotient (SQ). The present study tested n = 1761 students with these instruments, to determine if short versions of these scales could be constructed. This would be desirable both for faster assessment and to establish which are the key items on each scale. Principal component analysis a...
