“…Specifically, women scored higher in the TEQ, supporting similar findings that females tend to exhibit higher empathy than males (Spreng et al 2009;Totan et al 2012;Baltes , and Miu 2014;Youssef et al 2014;Toussaint and Webb 2005;Turnage et al 2012). These sex differences do not emerge in all empathy studies however, prompting Baldner and McGinley (Baldner and McGinley 2014) to state that self-report measures of empathy do not vastly differentiate among genders.…”

Abstract:The present study examined the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire's (TEQ) validity and reliability in a sample of 3955 Greek teachers. In order to test the internal consistency reliability, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used and was found satisfactory at 0.72. The sample was randomly split and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted in the even subsample, justifying the one-factor solution, with the only discrepancy of the low loading of an item. In the odd subsample a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to confirm the one-factor model identified by the EFA. The chi square test (χ 2 ) of the model was significant (p < 0.05), while the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), the comparative fit index (CFI) and the goodness of fit index (GFI) values were 0.078, 0.969 and 0.960, respectively, further supporting the model's fit. Student's t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that women, teachers with children of their own, those working full-time in public schools, those with students who needed special education, and those who had received mental health promotion training, scored higher. Additionally, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that sex, working status, having students who needed special education, and having attended mental health training courses were independently associated with TEQ score. The analyses confirmed that the Greek version of TEQ could be used for researches in Greek educators as a valid and reliable measure of teachers' empathy.

“…Their results have indicated that the higher a person's self-esteem, the less likely they were to avoid or seek revenge against a transgressor (Eaton, Struthers, & Santelli, 2006). In addition, people with high self-esteem usually have a high level of forgiveness for themselves and for others both in nonclinical (Turnage et al, 2012) and clinical (Weinberg, 2013) groups. Eaton, Struthers, and Santelli (2006) found that self-esteem, besides narcissism and need for structure, significantly predicted dispositional and episodic forgiveness.…”

“…However, results of the studies that include only one trait are inconsistent (Brown & Phillips, 2005;Turnage et al, 2012;Weinberg, 2013;Macaskill, 2012;Sastre et al, 2003) . Our findings might indicate that positive psychological characteristics are important for positive forgivingness but they are meaningless for reducing the negative tendency to forgive.…”

“…Researchers have verified this implication. They found associations between self-esteem and both types of forgiveness -episodic (Eaton, Struthers, & Santelli, 2006) and dispositional (Eaton, Struthers, & Santelli, 2006;Turnage et al, 2012;Weinberg, 2013;Shuguang et al, 2016). Their results have indicated that the higher a person's self-esteem, the less likely they were to avoid or seek revenge against a transgressor (Eaton, Struthers, & Santelli, 2006).…”

Abstract:The study examined the importance of cognitive (positive orientation, basic hope) (Thompson et al., 2005), TRIM (McCullough et al., 1998), P-Scale (Caprara et al., 2012), BHI-12 (Trzebiński & Zięba, 2003a), SUPIN (Polish version of PANAS;Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988), CECS (Watson & Greer, 1983). Results showed that dispositional forgiveness (general and positive) was associated with cognitive and emotional predictors, whereas episodic forgiveness primarily with certain emotional variables. In addition, the results indicated that emotional predictors merely participate in the process of reducing unforgiveness, whereas cognitive and emotional variables were shown to be necessary for full forgiveness.

“…At the same time, it emerges as an important indicator of all social interactions. The high self-esteem of the individual is important in his/her self-acceptance and social relations (Turnage, Hong, Stevenson & Edwards, 2012). People with high self-esteem believe that they are talented, successful, valuable and important (Salami, 2010).…”

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the optimism of adolescents according to various variables, sex, self-esteem and subjective well-being. The study was carried out on a total of 305 high-school students, including 182 women and 123 men who attended different high schools in Burdur. In this research, personal information form developed by the researchers, adolescent subjective well-being developed by Eryilmaz and self-esteem scale adapted by culture and culture by Aksoy (1992), Piskin and life orientation inventory adapted by culture and culture (Aydin and Tezer and Karagoz). Pearson moment product correlation coefficient and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. SPSS 15 program has been utilised. As a result of the research, it is understood that adolescent optimism is predicted by sex, self-esteem and subjective well-being. The findings of the study are discussed in the literature.
