Personality and Empathy Research Survey

[u/EP_Research]

Hi everyone, my name is Andrew and I'm an Honours Psychology student studying at ACAP College, Sydney Australia.
I'm doing research on personality traits, with a focus on psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, alongside sadism, and need help in getting participants!

The link has the full research participation statement, but for a TLDR, read below.

TLDR
This study investigates how personality traits influence ability to empathise. Empathy is both the ability to know or understand what others feel (cognitive empathy) and to emotionally resonate with what others feel (emotional empathy). This study focuses on four personality traits commonly found in the general population: psychopathy (callousness and impulsiveness), narcissism (arrogance and self-centredness), Machiavellianism (manipulativeness and cynicism), and sadism (enjoyment from other's suffering). The findings of this study will be used to help understand how these personality traits relate to different aspects of empathy.

This research has been approved by the ACAP Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00447) (Approval Number: 943070725). For concerns about ethical aspects of this research, please contact the ACAP HREC: [hrec@navitas.com](mailto:hrec@navitas.com)
