Специфика факторной структуры личности представителей различных типов эмпатии

Abstract

In the paper empathy is discovered from the standpoint of continuum approach that allows considering it as a complex multilevel, but at the same time, as a holistic formation. In the context of this approach, the parameters of qualitative (emotional, cognitive, predictive and efficient empathy) and substantial (empathic orientation) levels of the empathy are subjected to the integrated theoretical and empirical research. At the substantial level those characteristics of the empathy are observed that mainly reflects the empathic orientation of the personality. The empathic orientation is understood as a manifestation of empathic preferences, as the choice of the subject of those objects and spheres of life, in relation to which, in the first place, empathic experiences of the subject appeared and where the most pronounced individual characteristics of the empathy manifest themselves. В статье представлены результаты теоретико-эмпирического исследования индивидуально-психологических особенностей факторной структуры личности (по Р. Кеттеллу) у лиц с различным типом (диспозицией) эмпатии и эмпатической направленности.
