ABSTRACT: The study of development and validation of Empathy-Induced Altruism Scale explains the process of developing of a tool that includes the phases establishing its psychometric properties specifically the reliability and validity. In the phases of test development, the procedure started in the Concept Generation, wherein the identification of the need systematic review related literature has been conducted. In the process of Empathy-Induced Altruism Scale, it is heavily anchored to Batson's theory of Altruism which explains the phenomena of increasing other's welfare by the Altruistic and Egoistic motives, and in the process of Item Generation, there were four (4) identified factors that will composed the Empathy-Induced Altruism Scale yielding a total of 130 items divided into Principle Orientation (35 items), Internal Fulfillment (34 items), Punishment-Avoidant (31 items) and Reward-Seeking (30 items). This items undergone face validation from the experts retaining 119 items subjected for Pilot Testing to n=52 houseparents to different DSWD-NCR Residential Care Facilities. The results were run through the Cronbach's Alpha resulting to delete items trimming to 107 items. This 107 items retained undergone two-try outs to establish reliability through Cronbach's Alpha and Scale Construction through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results of CFA shows that the items in their respective factors were all valid and measures what it intends to measure, and the factor analysis. Also, its predictability has been tested through Factor Loadings obtaining 22.799 % of Variance. The tool has been validated which implementation to other professional is recommended and consider improvements especially on the Filipino translation.
