FEAS
Fragebogen zur Erfassung von Empathie und angemessenem sozialem Verhalten
Short abstract
With the questionnaire FEAS empathy ability and appropriate social behaviour in children and adolescents can be assessed. The questionnaire contains 15 short everyday situations with two main persons each, a total of 30 items to assess empathy and an additional 16 items to record social behaviour (appropriate social behaviour). Reliability: The split-half reliability is rtt = .74 (empathy) and rtt = .77 (appropriate social behaviour). The alpha coefficients were .76 (empathy) and .72 (appropriate social behaviour). Validity: The empirical validity of the questionnaire was determined on the basis of various external criteria (e.g. readiness for social commitment, legitimation of violence). In particular, scales from the Personality Questionnaire for Children 9-14 (PFK 9-14) were used. Norms: Percentage ranks and T-values were calculated for N = 147 secondary school pupils.
