| Research Abstract |
We have investigated whether empathetic behaviors of physicians are associated with skin conductance responses (SCRs) and level (SCL) when patients express emotions. Participants were 20 physicians who worked in National Cancer Hospital East. They conducted bad news consultations with simulated patients, while measuring skin conductance activities. Physicians' behaviors that had been recorded on video in the consultations were coded for content by an independent coder. Physicians who responded more empathetically didn't exhibit greater SCRs for tasks than those who responded less empathetically. However, physicians who responded more empathetically exhibited significant SCLs for tasks than those who responded less empathetically.
