Empathy-understood as cognitive flexibility, perceptiveness, & skill in handling hyp'al situations-has been proposed as a catalyst of modernization. Assuming that modern roles, orientations, & values are implicit in the content of the MM, it was hyped that more empathic receivers would decode these subtleties more completely & utilize them more rationally. Survey data were collected in 1966 from 775 Brazilian farm leaders in the state of Minas Gerais. Factor analysis of various approaches to the measurement of empathy uncovered 3 aspects: (,1) skill with hyp'als; (2) imaginativeness, (3) knowledge of modern roles. Regression analysis supported the expectation that the more empathic would profit more from MM exposure. The relationship was complex, however, & apparently subject to both take-off & ceiling effects. AIM exposure will not indefinitely increase the modernity of orientations, although empathy facilitates the process of orientational modification. AA.

A study 'to see how well interviewer effectiveness could be predicted from some background & personality variables,' with a sample pop of the 175 members of the interviewing staff of the Survey Res Center. The interviewers were ranked by their field supervisors on the basis of over-all ability, admin'- ve & clerical competence, & interviewing technique. Background characteristics of age, sex, & educ were considered, & the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory (SVII), Kerr-Speroff Empathy Test & Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey (G-ZTS) were administered. The factors of age, sex, & educ 'failed to show any relationship with the performance variables,' perhaps because the pop was quite homogeneous. Some relationship with the over-all effectiveness of the interviewer was shown by the empathy test; the SVII 'did not discriminate between good & poor interviewers;' & 3 factors in the G-ZTS - restraint, thoughtfulness-reflectiveness, & personal relations - were found to be related to good interviewing. 'Failure to discover generally large diff's may be attributed to a combination of several factors: (1) possible imprecision in our measurements of effective interviewing, (2) homogeneity of the pop, (3) relatively small size of sample, & (4) lack of power on the part of the prediction variables to predict.'
