We report the different personality profiles associated with five different empathy scales assessed by the face valid Davis Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the empirically derived Hogan Empathy Scale. Participants arranged in groups of 5-7 worked and socialized together for nine weeks before evaluating each other using Ten-Item Personality Inventory. We also recruited the friends and family members of participants to complete Q-Set descriptions of them. As hypothesized, Empathic Concern from the IRI was associated with a target's apparent Agreeableness, a trait that includes the sub-trait of being altruistic. Hogan Empathy, however, was associated more strongly with judgments of a target's Extraversion and Openness, which are traits more aligned with the notion of an empathic counselor as opposed to a bystander intervener. These results make it clear that different empathy scales not only assess theoretically distinct empathy facets but also qualitatively different interpersonal behavior (i.e., perceptions made by family, friends, and colleagues of a target's behavioral and interaction tendencies).

Introduction: Women with obesity are less likely to participate in mammographic screening and more likely to develop post-menopausal breast cancer. We describe the co-production of a novel training intervention for breast screening staff, targeting obesity-related barriers to participating in a population-based mammographic screening.
Methods: A Stakeholder Consultant Group (SCG) was established to guide the co-production process.

This may occur because researchers might not know what each published empathy scale actually measures. The present research begins to address this problem by reporting a large set of correlates for five different empathy scales to enable researchers to review the interpersonal traits and abilities each scale predicted.
