Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the scores of workplace psychological violence among emergency department medical staff with different gender,education level,working years in emergency department,shift work,personality type,and whether they received workplace violence training（all P<0.05）. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were negative correlations between workplace psychological violence and empathy ability scores among emergency department medical staff in grade-A tertiary hospitals（r=-0.308--0.854,all P<0.05）,and negative correlations between workplace psychological resilience scores（r=-0.264--0.842,all P<0.05）. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that empathy and psychological resilience had a significant predictive effect on workplace psychological violence（β=-0.432,-0.349,both P<0.05）,which independently explained 53.0% of workplace psychological violence.
