The QCAE: A Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy
TLDR
The hypothesized 2-factor structure (cognitive and affective empathy) was tested and provided the best and most parsimonious fit to the data.Abstract:
Empathy has been inconsistently defined and inadequately measured. This research aimed to produce a new and rigorously developed questionnaire. Exploratory (n₁ = 640) and confirmatory (n₂ = 318) factor analyses were employed to develop the Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (QCAE). Principal components analysis revealed 5 factors (31 items). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed this structure in an independent sample. The hypothesized 2-factor structure (cognitive and affective empathy) was tested and provided the best and most parsimonious fit to the data. Gender differences, convergent validity, and construct validity were examined. The QCAE is a valid tool for assessing cognitive and affective empathy.read more

The balance between feeling and knowing: affective and cognitive empathy are reflected in the brain's intrinsic functional dynamics
Christine L. Cox,Lucina Q. Uddin,Adriana Di Martino,F. Xavier Castellanos,Michael P. Milham,Clare Kelly +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that relative empathic ability (REA) is reflected in the brain's intrinsic functional dynamics of neural systems associated with social and emotional cognition and that REA and the strength of several functional connections were associated with symptoms of psychopathology.

Emotion regulation moderates the association between empathy and prosocial behavior.
TL;DR: It is suggested that, in general, empathy is positively associated with prosocial behaviour, however, this association is not significant for individuals with a high tendency for cognitive reappraisal.

The anatomy of empathy: Vicarious experience and disorders of social cognition.
TL;DR: The ACC gyrus and anterior insula are central to vicarious experience and may be atypical in psychopathy and autism, according to a review of animal and human studies.

Learning Empathy Through Virtual Reality: Multiple Strategies for Training Empathy-Related Abilities Using Body Ownership Illusions in Embodied Virtual Reality.
TL;DR: A theoretical analysis of different mechanisms of empathic practices is proposed in order to define a possible framework for the design of empathy training in VR and identifies different variables used by pioneer studies in VR to promote empathy-related responses.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula (α) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test, therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those in the test.
