Pleased to share this hot-off-the press paper co-authored with Dr Pietro Muratori and colleagues on the Italian version of the Measure of Empathy in Early Childhood (MEEC) rdcu.be/dwK0m

MEEC scores showed a 5-factor structure: prosocial behavior, attention to others’ emotions, personal distress (others), personal distress (fictional characters), and sympathy, in 6-8 year old school children

Callous unemotional traits were uniquely and most strongly associated (negatively) with prosocial behavior and attention to others’ emotions, as found previously.

Scores on the MEEC were reliable, invariant across gender, and correlated in expected ways with other measures of empathy and prosocial behavior, and measures of externalizing problems and callous-unemotional traits.
