Abstract

Objective: To design and validate a Brazilian version of the Animal Empathy Scale, based on the existing Portuguese version.

Methods: Content validity assessment was performed by expert judges, and the adapted scale was administered to a sample of 386 participants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed.

Results: The bifactorial profile of the scale remained consistent, comprising Empathic Concern for Animals (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients: 0.75) and Emotional Attachment with Animals (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients: 0.79). Considering the One Health framework, collaborative, multidisciplinary, and intersectoral approaches are essential for achieving optimal health conditions for people, animals, and the environment given their intricate interconnections. Empathy plays a crucial role in promoting proximity between humans and animals, fostering positive connections that encourage biodiversity conservation.

Conclusion: The 13 statements were retained, confirming the validity of the animal empathy scale for use in Brazil, and a Brazilian version of the Animal Empathy Scale was established.

人与动物的互动与一体健康：巴西版动物移情量表的建立与验证。

目的：根据现有的葡萄牙语版本，设计并验证巴西版动物移情量表：以现有的葡萄牙语版本为基础，设计并验证巴西版动物移情量表：方法：由专家评委进行内容效度评估，并对 386 名参与者进行了量表改编。结果：该量表的双因子分析结果表明，巴西人对动物的同情程度高于葡萄牙人：结果：量表的双因子特征保持一致，包括对动物的移情关注（Cronbach's alpha 和 McDonald's omega 系数：0.75）和对动物的情感依恋（Cronbach's alpha 和 McDonald's omega 系数：0.79）。考虑到 "一体健康 "框架，合作、多学科和跨部门方法对于实现人、动物和环境的最佳健康状况至关重要，因为它们之间存在着错综复杂的相互联系。同理心在促进人与动物之间的亲近感方面起着至关重要的作用，它能促进积极的联系，从而鼓励生物多样性的保护：保留了 13 项陈述，证实了动物移情量表在巴西使用的有效性，并建立了巴西版的动物移情量表。
