TABLE 4.
Model-based reliabilities for the selected models.
| Model | ωH(95% CI) | ωS(95% CI) | ωHS(95% CI) | ωHS/ωS(95% CI) | |
| M4c. Two-factor (PT+EC) bifactor model | Total scale | 0.51 (0.41, 0.60) | |||
| PT | 0.74 (0.70, 0.77) | 0.48 (0.36, 0.59) | 0.65 (0.49, 0.80) | ||
| EC | 0.71 (0.67, 0.75) | 0.30 (0.11, 0.48) | 0.42 (0.16, 0.68) | ||
| M6c. Two-factor (cognitive empathy: PT; affective empathy: EC+PD) bifactor model | Total scale | 0.38(0.26, 0.51) | |||
| PT | 0.74 (0.70, 0.77) | 0.56 (0.48, 0.64) | 0.76 (0.66, 0.86) | ||
| EC+PD | 0.74 (0.71, 0.77) | 0.45 (0.31, 0.60) | 0.61 (0.41, 0.81) |
PT, perspective taking; EC, empathic concern; boldface font indicates that the reliability estimates reach the empirical critical value; CI, confidence interval.
