This research aims to find out what kind of responses in peer group troubles-talk can be considered empathic responses. The research regarded Emotional Empathic Tendency(EET) and Self-Recognition of Empathy(SRE) as criteria to define empathic responses. Both EET and SRE were treated as independent variables, and 12 response types, which were produced in 102 subjects’ utterances, as dependent variables. To verify the effect of EET and SRE on responses, a binary logistic regression analysis method was used. This found that EET had an influence on three response types and SRE on just one response type. By interpretation of these response types, based on some advanced studies, the researcher found that EET and SRE have an independent effect on the selection of responses in peer-group troubles-talk. Specifically, EET had an effect on the use of responses that consider the listener’s emotion, such as face or politeness, while SRE had an effect on the use of responses that reveal similar trouble for the respondent, by which they could reveal their empathy.
