The Japanese empathy questionnaire (EmQue) for preschool children: Psychometric properties and measurement invariance across gender

Abstract: Empathy is assumed to be a universal human motivation to act altruistically toward others. Developmental models of empathy explaining when and how children acquire the capacity to empathize have been proposed. However, the existing knowledge is largely built upon studies conducted in the Western context. To fill this gap, a cross-culturally validated measure of empathy for children is needed. The purpose of this study was to assess the Japanese version of the Empathy Questionnaire (EmQue), a parent-reported me… Show more

“…Firstly, and prior to conducting our analyses, the previous validated versions (Grazzani et al., 2016; Lazdauskas & Nasvytienė, 2020; Lucas‐Molina et al., 2018; Rieffe et al., 2010; Takamatsu et al., 2021) were tested in our sample. None of the models showed an acceptable fit (see supplemental online Appendix A).…”

“…Besides, the EmQue also shows a good concurrent validity, that is, the different EmQue scales are related to emotion understanding, emotion regulation, other's emotion recognition, and prosocial behavior (Rieffe et al., 2010). To date, the EmQue has been translated into different languages (i.e., Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Lithuanian, and Japanese), validated by researchers from several countries and regions (i.e., North Europe, South Europe, and East Asia) (Grazzani et al., 2016; Lazdauskas & Nasvytienė, 2020; Lucas‐Molina et al., 2018; Rieffe et al., 2010; Takamatsu et al., 2021). Although some items were deleted in different languages or cultures, all studies confirmed the same three‐factor structure on toddlers (Grazzani et al., 2016), preschoolers (Lucas‐Molina et al., 2018), or both (Lazdauskas & Nasvytienė, 2020; Rieffe et al., 2010; Takamatsu et al., 2021).…”
