Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the JSE and ASDS‐Braz, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was then employed to explore the relationships between total ageism score, total empathy score, and other factors.ResultsCFA for ASDS‐Braz and JSE and the SEM showed marginal root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) values and displayed expected loading directions. Among 626 predoctoral dental students (91.5% response rate), SEM revealed significant associations between the university attended and total empathy score with total ageism score, and sex with total empathy score.ConclusionAmong southern Brazilian dental students, university attended and overall empathy levels are strongly linked to the total ageism score. At the same time, gender shows a significant correlation with the overall empathy score. 10.1111/scd.70021 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
