Table 3.

ESE subscale correlations and covariances.

^*p < 0.05; In the top half of the table, correlations are presented below the diagonal, variances on the diagonal, and covariances above the diagonal. Correlation coefficients in the top left quadrant indicate the convergent validity between the affective empathy subscales and correlation coefficients in the bottom right quadrant indicate the convergent validity between the cognitive empathy subscales. Correlation coefficients in the bottom left quadrant indicate the discriminant validity between the emotion specific affective and cognitive empathy subscales, with the exception of the those coefficients presented in boldface, which indicate the convergent validity between the emotion specific subscales (i.e., Anger Affective Empathy with Anger Cognitive Empathy). The bottom half of the table presents correlations between the ESE and IRI subscales.
