“…The IRI has good internal consistency, with alpha coefficients ranging from 0.68 to 0.79 (Christopher, Owens, & Stecker, 1993;Davis, 1980). Furthermore, the IRI has been shown to correlate with other measures of empathy, providing support for the construct validity of the measure (Davis, 1980).…”

A deficit in empathy has consistently been cited as a central characteristic of Asperger syndrome (AS), but previous research on adults has predominantly focused on cognitive empathy, effectively ignoring the role of affective empathy. We administered the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), a multi-dimensional measure of empathy, and the Strange Stories test to 21 adults with AS and 21 matched controls. Our data show that while the AS group scored lower on the measures of cognitive empathy and theory of mind, they were no different from controls on one affective empathy scale of the IRI (empathic concern), and scored higher than controls on the other (personal distress). Therefore, we propose that the issue of empathy in AS should be revisited.

“…Yet delinquency (trouble with the law) was found to be the strongest predictor of sexual aggression (Calhoun et all 1997). Having delinquent peers and social endorsements of hostile behaviours toward women predicted public and private acts of sexual aggression against women (Christopher, Owens & Stecker, 1993;Ouimette & Riggs, 1998). Alcohol and/or drug abuse of male partners were the strongest correlates of sexual violence found by other studies identifying environmental factors associated with intimate sexual violence (Coker, 2000;Dearwater, 1998).…”

This article defines what is meant by intimate sexual violence and provides a brief historical context to this phenomenon. The incidence and impact of intimate sexual violence are clarified and discussed, as are the various factors contributing to this abusive behaviour. Current literature on intimate sexual violence in the United States is reviewed and dij'j-ering approaches to responding to incidents of intimate sexual violence are identified as they might inform assessment and treatment options.Taking intimate sexual violence seriously has implications for contraceptive counselling, abortion counselling, mental health counselling and family therapy. The article aims to inform practitioners of the essential issues surrounding intimate sexual violence, so that whenever intimate s m a l violence is suspected, the social worker orfamily therapist can assess and intervene in a responsive and effective manner.

“…Men who perpetrate physical violence display lower levels of empathy than nonviolent men (Dutton, 1998), and individuals who engaged in lower intensity violence such as psychological aggression also had lower levels of empathy (Peloquin et al, 2011). Lower levels of empathy also seem to be associated with sexual aggression (Christopher, Owens, & Stecker, 1993). Covell, Huss, and LanghinrichsenRohling (2007) conducted one of the few direct studies on the relationship of empathy with different types of intimate partner abuse including psychological, physical, and sexual.…”

This article explores the interpersonal dynamic of empathy with intimate partner violence. Given that lack of empathy seems to be related to intimate partner violence and an increase in the capacity for empathy could be a deterrent to future commission of violence, this study examined if there was any change in empathy over a 26-week partner abuse intervention program. In addition, this study examined if increases in empathy correlated with a decrease in aggression.
