Indifference was evaluated with the Assessment of Countertransference Scale (ACS); vicarious trauma was evaluated with the Trauma and Attachment Belief Scale (TABS). The Spearman correlation coefficient is demonstrated in the table. The strength of correlation is classified as follows: .0–.19 = very weak; .20–39 = weak; .40–.59 = moderate; .60–.79 = strong; .8–1.0 = very strong.
