Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the construct validity and reliability of empathy and to examine the dimensions and indicators that
make up this construct. Empathy is measured by four dimensions, namely empathic concern, personal distress, fantasy and perspective taking. The
population in this study were all grade VII students who were in Muhammadiyah 1 Prambanan Middle School. The sample in this study were 60
students. The sampling technique used is quota sampling. The data collection method uses empathy scale. Research data were analyzed using
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS version 3.0 program. Based on the results of data analysis, the dimensions and indicators
that form the construct of empathy are declared valid and reliable. The dominant dimension that reflects the construct of empathy is empathic concern
with a loading factor of 0.978. The weakest dimension reflects the empathy construct is personal distress with a loading factor of 0.908. This shows that
all dimensions and indicators are able to reflect and shape the construct of empathy, thus the measurement model can be accepted because the theory
that describes the construct of empathy fit with empirical data obtained from the subject.
