The Empathic Experience Scale (EES) is a questionnaire constructed in order to measure empathy integrated both in emotional and cognitive approach. The purpose of this study is to examine the construct validity of the EES. 118 male university students were asked to answer the EES. 10 subjects were selected from the higher group and 11 from the lower one. The responses of amplitude and heart rate were measured by a plethysmograph while watching a video tape of a child expressing surprise, sorrow, or joy. Then, they were asked to complete self-reports of the child's feeling and their own feeling concerning the experiment. The result was that the EES was related to self-reports without showing positive physiological signs. The self-reports indicated that the EES had a construct validity for positive feeling of others, but in the case of a negative feeling, empathy and sympathy were mixed. After discussion about the differences, it was suggested that the EES would measure latent empathy with other's negative feelings.
