| description | The present study aimed to translate and validate “The Compassion of Others’ Lives Scale (COOL; Chang, Fresco, & Green, 2014)”, evaluating its functioning in a population of Argentine adolescents and young adults. The empirical instrumental study was carried out in a non-probabilistic sample, consisting of 385 adolescents and youngadults, 210 women and 175 men from 13 to 23 years of age(M = 17.32, SD = 2.51). To study the psychometric propertiesof the proposed version, we analyzed the following: the discriminative power of the items, the internal consistencyof the instrument, adding different evidences of construct,convergent, and criterion validity. The translated and adaptedversion of COOL showed satisfactory psychometric properties, so it is feasible to be used to evaluate the compassion construct in adolescents and young adults, with an adequate degree of reliability and validity in the context inwhich it was studied. |

El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo la traducción y validación de The Compassion Of Others’ Lives scale (COOL; Escala de Compasión hacia Otros; Chang, Fresco, & Green, 2014), evaluando su funcionamiento en una población de adolescentes y adultos jóvenes argentinos. El estudio empírico instrumental se realizó a partir de un muestreo no probabilístico, con la participación de 385 adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, 210 mujeres y 175 varones de 13 a 23 años (M = 17.32; DE = 2.51). Para estudiar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión propuesta, se analizó el poder discriminativo de los ítems, la consistencia interna del instrumento, sumando diferentes evidencias de validez de constructo, convergente y de criterio. La versión traducida y adaptada de la COOL presentó propiedades psicométricas satisfactorias, por lo cual resulta factible de ser utilizada para evaluar el constructo compasión en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, con un adecuado grado de fiabilidad y validez en el contexto en que fue estudiada.
