The statistical population included all students in Tehran in the age range of 11 to 17 years who were selected using available sampling method 280 students (145 boys and 135 girls). After translating and obtaining the opinions of experts and subjects, the face validity of the questionnaire were confirmed.

Correlational analyses between this Questionnaire with AMES provided initial evidence for the ACS convergent validity. Internal consistency coefficients for the affective empathy, cognitive empathy and intention to comfort subscales were .79, .76 and .82, respectively. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: In sum, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the EmQue- CA-R as an instrument to measure empathy among Iranian students.
