Aperçu: G.M.
Cette
recherche visait à valider une version chinoise simplifiée du quotient
d'empathie (EQ; 60 items) à utiliser avec les Chinois continentaux.
L'analyse des facteurs de confirmation a suggéré qu'un modèle structurel EQ 15-items a bien adapté les données. L'empathie auto-évaluée, telle qu'évaluée par la version
chinoise simplifiée actuelle de l'égalisation, semblait se rapporter aux
traits autistiques et alexithymiques des participants, mais pas au
sexe.

Abstract
This
research aimed to validate a simplified Chinese version of the Empathy
Quotient (EQ; 60 items) for use with Mainland Chinese people. The
original English version of the EQ was translated into simplified
Chinese. Through an online survey, 588 Mainland Chinese participants
completed the EQ and 3 other questionnaires: the Interpersonal
Reactivity Index (IRI), the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), and the
20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Thirty-five participants
completed retesting of the EQ 3 to 4 weeks later. Sex differences on the
EQ scores and psychometric properties of the EQ items were examined.
Confirmatory factor analysis suggested that an EQ 15-item structural
model fitted the data quite well. Self-report empathy, as assessed by
the current simplified Chinese version of the EQ, appeared to relate to
participants' autistic and alexithymic traits but not sex.
