Empathy is a multidimensional construct potentially important in communicating with an individual with aphasia and for students pursuing a career in speech-language pathology. Unfortunately, little is known about empathy towards someone with aphasia among the general public and speech-language pathologists. The aims of the current study are to explore whether (1) prior knowledge of aphasia predicts state and dispositional empathy after viewing a video of an adult with post-stroke aphasia; (2) state and dispositional empathy differs between a group of individuals seeking a profession in speech-language pathology and those who are not; (3) state and dispositional empathy differ between speech-language pathology undergraduate and graduate students. Two hundred-six participants viewed a video of a male with aphasia engaged in three language tasks and then rated themselves with the Batson Empathy Adjectives (BEA) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI; empathic concern and perspective taking). State empathy is not influenced by prior knowledge, however, knowledge does predict type of dispositional empathy. Furthermore, state and dispositional empathy does not differ between a group of individuals seeking a profession in speech-language pathology and those who are not seeking this profession. Additionally, state and dispositional empathy do not differ between undergraduate and graduate students in speech-language pathology. These findings have implications for programs designed to increase public awareness of post-stroke aphasia as well as speech-language pathology graduate programs.
