The EAI uses these components in order to provide an accurate view in regard to the mechanisms and events that influence human behaviour (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.95). What does it measure? EAI is based on four components that are related to human behaviour. However, the key role of EAI is related to the measurement of empathy (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.94). The reason that a special tool for measuring empathy has been introduced is because empathy has been found to have a critical role in the effectiveness of social work practice (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.94). In fact, it has been proved that adolescents who are supported by social workers, who are characterized by increased empathy, have fewer chances to proceed to anti-social activities (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.94). Moreover, in practice the study of empathy as a factor influencing social work has been quite limited (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.94). In this context, EAI has been proved as a valuable tool, helping ‘not only to measure empathy but also to define empathy as a component of social work practice’ (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.94). According to the issues discussed above, EAI has been primarily introduced in order to support social work. However, in practice EAI has been proved to be a valuable tool for measuring empathy as related to any field. Factors involved in the measure In order to understand the role of EAI it would be necessary to refer analytically to its major components, which are four, as explained earlier. These components could be analyzed as follows: a) ‘Affective Response (AR)’ (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.95), is the human behaviour that it is characterized by the effort of an individual to imitate the behaviour of another person (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84). The key characteristic of Affective Response is that a person becomes from an observer an imitator of another person’s behaviour (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84). It can be assumed that the specific characteristic of human behaviour is critical in adolescents who can, under specific terms, imitate the anti-social behaviour of other persons (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84). the affective response is also known as ‘emotional empathy’ (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84). b) ‘Perspective Taking (PT)’ (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.95), or cognitive empathy’ (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84) has the following characteristic: it is based on the view that an individual can proceed to certain action not because of the observation of others’ actions but because of his own perceptions in regard to a particular activity (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84). in other words, in the context of Affective Response empathy is involuntary while in Perspective Taking, empathy is voluntary (Gerdes, Lietz & Segal 2011, p.84). c) ‘Self-Other Awareness, (SA)’ (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.85), is based on the following rule: with the Self-Other Awareness a person is capable of understanding the status of another person’s emotions (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.85). for a person that lacks Self-Other Awareness the emotions released by another person will not be appropriately interpreted, causing to the first person, the observer, ‘distress rather than empathy’ (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.85). d) ‘Emotion Regulation, (ER)’ (Gerdes et al. 2012, p.85).
