ResumenSe presentan las propiedades psicométricas de una escala de Conducta Empática (ECE) creada ad hoc para adultos. Se evaluó un conjunto inicial de 20 ítems con el método de jueces expertos, luego los reactivos conservados fueron administrados a una muestra de 1168 estudiantes universitarios de Argentina. Se aplicaron tanto la ECE como la escala de Distorsión del Cuestionario de los Cinco Grandes, la dimensión Toma de Perspectiva de la Escala de Habilidades Prosociales y preguntas de autopercepción de la conducta prosocial. El análisis de la consistencia interna brindó un índice satisfactorio (α=.82; glb=.89) mientras que el estudio de la dimensionalidad mediante Análisis Factorial Exploratorio mostró una estructura unifactorial. Las correlaciones ítem-total corregidas y las comunalidades fueron adecuadas. La relación entre la escala ECE y las medidas criterio es coherente con la teoría. En conclusión, se puede afirmar que la escala ECE obtuvo adecuadas propiedades psicométricas.Palabras clave: empatía, conducta empática, conducta prosocial, construcción de tests de tests, propiedades psicométricas AbstractThe psychometric properties of an Empathic Behavior scale (ECE in its Spanish initials) specially created for adults are presented in this study. An initial 20-item set was assessed by expert judges; then the preserved reactives were administered to a sample of 1168 university students in Argentina. We applied the Empathic Behavior scale as well as the Big Five Questionnaire Distortion scale, the perspective-taking dimension of the Prosocial Skills Scale and self-perception questions on prosocial behavior. The internal consistency analysis showed a satisfactory rate (α=.82; glb=.89) while the dimensionality study through the Exploratory Factorial Analysis reported a monofactorial structure. The corrected item-total correlations and communalities were appropriate. The relation between the Empathic Behavior scale and the criterion measures was consistent with the theory. In conclusion, it can be asserted that the Empathic Behavior scale obtained suitable psychometric properties.
