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.
