“…Past studies in other fields have used these techniques to compare the measurement precision of competing questionnaires at varying trait levels, frequently observing poor measurement precision at low and/or high levels of various trait dimensions (e.g., Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000; Olino et al, 2013). Given that clinicians and treatment outcome researchers may be interested in assessing substantial empathy deficits and changes following treatment (e.g., Michie & Lindsay, 2012; Palgi, Palgi, Ben-Ezra, & Shrira, 2014), and that researchers may be interested in measuring empathy within presumably lower trait level populations (e.g., prison settings; Young et al, 2015), the measurement precision of empathy scales at various trait levels should be assessed. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the constancy of measurement precision in empathy questionnaires; we made no a priori predictions regarding these analyses.…”

“…The I7 questionnaire consists of 54 dichotomous items and includes three scales: impulsiveness, venturesomeness, and empathy. The empathy scale has been shown to primarily measure affective empathy, rather than cognitive empathy 59 . In addition, all participants completed a validated Dutch translation of the Aggression Questionnaire 60 in which they rate 29 items using a five-point Likert scale.…”

“…Though research finds that low levels of remorse, regret, responsibility, and empathy correlate to higher levels of violent (re)offending ( Jolliffe & Farrington, 2004 , 2007 ), other findings indicate that people with a history of sexual offending demonstrate greater levels of cognitive empathy than others who have committed sexual offence(s) ( Young et al, 2015 ). Latzman et al’s (2011) key study also examined the histories, risk, and treatment needs of adolescents who committed sibling and non-sibling sexual offences.…”
