Perspective Taking, Empathic Concern and their Interaction as Predicting Burnout in 294 French General Practitioners (Odds Ratio Adjusted for Marital Status). We dichotomized Perspective Taking and Empathic Concern by the median; low Perspective Taking = score ≤ 53, high Perspective Taking = score > 53; low Empathic Concern = score ≤ 46 (n = 151), high Empathic Concern = score > 46 (n = 143). The odds for burnout were significantly lower in participants with high PT (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.21–0.65, p < 0.001), high EC (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.33–0.98), p < 0.05) and high on both PT and EC (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.15–0.63, p < 0.001).
