Analysis construct and concurrent validity in two similar samples young adults, a sample (target adaptation) an Italian (source language), revealed adequacy instrument, with adequate fit model group, χ2(96) = 405.28, p .001, RMSEA .071, CFI .94, GFI .93, group χ2(97) 224.5, .075, .91, .90. results also replicated instrument found sample, as configural invariance was verified both groups. Analyses benevolent power values related prosociality differences between genders supported scale. In short, present confirms sensitivity adults sample.
