What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Empathy Quotent
It consists of 60 items, 40 measuring empathy and 20 control measures. Scores range from 0 to 80. It measures cognitive and affective empathy in adults. Equalizer allows classification into four categories, which facilitates comparison between groups. The cut-off for each level is: from 0 to 32 scores: low empathy (average scores in Asperger Syndrome is 20), from 33 to 52 scores: average empathy (average in men 42, average in women 47), from 53 to 63 scores: above average, from 64 to 80 scores: high empathy
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
State anxiety
The response scale is Likert-type with 4 alternatives (in the Spanish adaptation from 0 to 3). There are 20 items for evaluation. Thus, the range of responses goes from 0 to 60, with a higher level of anxiety corresponding to a higher score.
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Anxiety as a trait
The response scale is Likert-type with 4 alternatives (in the Spanish adaptation from 0 to 3). Trait anxiety has 20 items for its evaluation. Thus, the range of responses goes from 0 to 60, with a higher level of anxiety corresponding to a higher score.
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Abbreviated personality questionnaire
The EPQR-A is an abbreviated form of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. It is a 24-item self-report measure that leverages three personality scales (extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism) and a lie validity scale. Each scale is assessed by 6 questions that participants rate on a binary frequency scale scored 1 or 0.
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
