The output generated proved that, with a 95% confidence interval, only the TEQ Score observed a normal distribution in both samples.Bearing in mind these results, we proceeded in comparing the two clusters making use of parametric instruments for that variable, and non-parametric tests for the remaining.5.3.3Comparing the TEQ Score results of Healthcare professionals and Design studentsAs just mentioned before, to analyse the differences between the two groups in this variable we used a parametric test, namely the Independent samples t-test for equality of means.Considering the test hypothesis:H0.1: There’s no difference between healthcare professionals and design students in terms of EmpathyAnd its alternative counterpart:H1.1: There are differences between healthcare professionals and design students in terms of EmpathyApplying the test (see Table 11) one should not reject the null hypothesis and, thus, consider that there isn’t significant evidence of differences between the groups in terms of Empathy.
