摘要:The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers perceive themselves, precisely, what their self-concept was, and how they assessed their empathic abilities. The connection between empathy and self-concept was also examined. The study was conducted on a sample of 120 teachers from several primary and secondary schools in Serbia. The results showed that teachers had evaluated themselves positively on all of the observed dimensions of self-concept, and that the degree of their empathy had been estimated quite highly. Almost all aspects of self-concept were connected to empathy, but it was shown that the most important predictor of high empathy was favorable self-estimation of social self-concept.
