Figure 1. Maximum likelihood estimation path model.

N = 262. Model fit: χ2(3) = .872 p = .843, CFI = 1, RMSEA < .001, 90% CI [.000, .059]. Paths are significant at p < .05. For reasons of parsimony, covariances and error terms are not drawn. Narrative exposure and gender covaried at r = .15, the error terms of affective and cognitive empathy covaried at r = .36, the error terms of affective empathy and sympathy covaried at r = .53, the error terms of cognitive empathy and sympathy covaried at r = .23.
