Our objective was to construct a comprehensive and psychometrically tested Chineselanguage Empathy Scale in Patient Care (ES-PC) for use with Taiwanese people. We randomly selected 820 medical-care students and professionals who provided 789 valid responses to a written survey. After exploratory factor analysis, 23 items were derived, which were rated on a 9-point scale, and 3 factors were elicited: behavioral empathy (9 items; 44.73% of total variance), affective empathy (7 items; 10.99%), and intellectual empathy (7 items; 5.71%). The Cronbach's α coefficient values for the 3 subscales and the overall scale ranged from .87 to .94, indicating internal consistency. Evidence of concurrent validity was also provided to support the external validity of the ES-PC. The test–retest correlation coefficient for the entire scale was r = .89. The findings proved that the ES-PC could be a reliable and valid instrument to measure the level of empathy in the medical cultural context of Taiwan.

The Friendship Activity Scale and the Adjective Checklist were initially developed in the USA for the purpose of measuring children’s attitudes towards intellectual disability (Siperstein, 1980). This research reports the development and validation of an Indonesian revision of these instruments, the Friendship Activity Observation Test (FAOT) and the Adjective Observational Checklistl (AOT) for use in its unified sports program (Special Olympics). Nine experts, with national and international level experience of 12-30 years, participated in this research. They comprised a psychometry expert, a sports psychology expert, a children with intellectual disability (ID) expert, a sport tests and measurements expert, and five unified sports trainers of children with ID. Content validity ratio (CVR) was used to assess the validity of the revised items. Following the formula proposed by Lawshe, the provision of a minimum value of CVR 0.78 was established as the criterion. Following the Delphi process, the average validity value of the items in each instrument was 0.945 for the FAOT and 0.941 for the AOT. The resulting drafts were then further tested and refined to check the content, construct, and rationale using the expert panel. The FAOT and AOT instruments when compared to the original versions were found to have increased utility in the Indonesian context as a result of increased balance in the number of indicators and items defining each factor, adjusting to the socio-cultural context of Indonesia, corresponding the instrument items and indicators to the context of unified sports for ID children, and the provision of implementation instructions, lattices instruments, as well as an observation-based rating rubric.

A measure with satisfactory psychometric properties to address if stress is eustress or distress remains undeveloped in the cultural context of China. Thus, we revised and validated a Chinese version of the Eustress–Distress Psychological Response Scale (CEDPRS), examining the structure and indicators of eustress and distress with 1,079 undergraduate students in China. We found that the CEDPRS is best explained using a 2-factor second-order model comprising psychological responses to eustress and distress. Indicators of psychological responses to eustress included hope, meaningfulness, positive affect, and sense of control; responses to distress included anxiety, negative affect, meaninglessness, loss of control, and anger/hostility. We found that the CEDPRS is a valid and reliable measure in the Chinese context, thus providing empirical support for its use in assessing Chinese people's eustress and distress simultaneously from the individual's psychological response to the same stressor.
