説明

<jats:p>Empathy is an essential building block for successful interpersonal relationships. Atypical empathic development is implicated in a range of developmental psychopathologies. However, assessment of empathy in children is constrained by a lack of suitable measurement instruments. This article outlines the development of the Kids' Empathic Development Scale (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">KEDS</jats:styled-content>) designed to assess some of the core affective, cognitive and behavioural components of empathy concurrently. The <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">KEDS</jats:styled-content> assesses responses to picture scenarios depicting a range of individual and interpersonal situations differing in social complexity. Results from 220 children indicate the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">KEDS</jats:styled-content> measures three related but distinct aspects of empathy that are also related to existing measures of empathy and cognitive development. Scores on the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">KEDS</jats:styled-content> show age and some gender‐related differences in the expected direction.</jats:p>
