    The purposes of the present study were to construct a Situational Test for Emotional Responses (STER) at sexual problem behaviors (a suspicion of pregnancy and having adult videos) or popular problem behaviors(school refusal and bully), and to examine the relationship between differences in the situation, sex, dispositional empathy and self-reported emotional responses. The Dispositional Empathy Questionnaire(DEQ) and STER were used to study 212 students; 133 undergraduates (42 males and 91 females) and 79 graduate students(incumbent teachers; 30 males and 49 females). The Results showed that; ①The self-reported empathic concerns of sexual problem behaviors were higher than those of popular problem behaviors, ②The self-reported personal distresses of females were higher than those of males, ③the correlations between the dispositional empathic concerns and the self-reported empathic concerns, and the correlations between the dispositional personal distresses and the self-reported personal distresses were positively significant. So the result showed contrasting orientations between the dispositional personal distresses(egoistic) and the self-reported empathic concerns (other-oriented response).
