Abstract

The relationship between anxiety and empathy in counselor-

trainees was investigated. Subjects were graduate

students in counseling practicum and six clergymen in a

counseling extension course. Instruments were the Taylor

Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Truax Empathy Scale. Anxiety

and empathy ratings at the beginning and end of an academic

quarter were compared. Findings indicated a significant

decrease in anxiety over the period. No significant change

was found in empathy. There was no significant relationship

between the two variables.
