The current versions of the Affective Sensitivity Scale (E‐80 and D‐80) are media‐based, multiple‐choice tests of one facet of human empathy. Extensive data have been collected. Revisions have been made based on analysis of reliability and validity data. The tests yield several subscales that have research, treatment, and training potential. Theoretical constructs are proposed to explain the role of affective sensitivity in the process of empathy.
