The Development and Initial Validation of an Empathy Scale for Higher Education Instructors
The relationship between a teacher and student can be an important part of student success, especially for students of higher education. One factor that may influence student outcomes is the level of empathy a teacher may demonstrate toward a student. Empathy is an important part of interpersonal relationships as it promotes a feeling or understanding of another’s emotions through taking on a different perspective. Empathy can also produce a response leading to altruistic behavior. According to some theoretical models the prosocial characteristic of empathy contributes to the social emotional competence (SEC) of a teacher or instructor. The higher the SEC the more influence a teacher may have on a student’s development and potential outcomes. Although the SEC model has not yet been studied in higher education classrooms it could be an area of future research. To fill the research gap regarding empathy in higher education and its relationship with teacher-student relationships, an instrument for self measurement of empathy would be necessary. Currently there is no instrument that can measure empathy in the higher education instructor. Empirical measurement of empathy can lead to self-awareness and potential improvement in SEC. Measuring empathy can contribute to student outcomes research, assist with instructor self-awareness and training, and may lead to a better learning experience for the student, contributing to their success. The purpose of this research is to develop and validate an instrument to measure empathy in higher education instructors. Researchers will develop an empathy scale for higher education instructors using current validated empathy scales, conducting qualitative research, and performing a literature review. The higher education empathy scale will be distributed to higher education instructors and validated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis

Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment: A Systems Approach to Understanding Sexual Issues in Individuals and Couples
Sexuality is a complex construct made up of the influence of systems upon the individual and counterinfluence of the individual upon systems, which can make sexual history taking problematic. The adaptation of Bronfenbrenner’s developmental ecological systems model has been employed to create a Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment. The Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment is described as a means of gathering and organizing information about an individual’s sexual development and current sexual expression across five subsystems that range from the microsystem, wherein interactions take place among and between family members and close caregivers, to the chronosystem, which is the effect of time across the other four subsystems. The Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment may be useful in considering the effects of systemic intersectionality on sexual development. The use of the Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment as a couple’s assessment and intervention is also discussed. The Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment is a flexible tool that can be used both at the outset of treatment but also during treatment to gather additional influences on a person’s sexual history and presenting problem. Sample questions for conducting the Sexological Ecosystemic Assessment are provided, with encouragement for clinicians to use the model as a basis for creating questions that fit the identity and intersections of their client population
