The primary objective of this study was to conceptualize, construct, and validate the Affective Responsibility Scale (ERA), an instrument designed to measure attitudes related to emotional awareness and regulation, empathy, care, and commitment in interpersonal relationships. Through content validity analysis, evaluated by a panel of seven expert judges, the results indicated that the majority of the items (41 out of a total of 50) in the ERA met the criteria of clarity, coherence, and relevance. However, some items exhibited deficiencies in terms of clarity and coherence, highlighting the need for revisions and more rigorous future validations. Affective responsibility was conceptualized as a set of ethical attitudes that guide emotional interactions, ensuring that these contribute to the well-being of oneself and others. This conceptualization is based on Damasio's theories about the influence of emotions in decision-making, emphasizing the importance of emotional regulation in everyday life. Among the limitations of the study, the lack of empirical validation beyond expert judgment and the need to explore the relationship between affective responsibility and other psychological constructs in various cultural contexts are noted. Despite these limitations, the ERA represents a significant contribution to the field of affective psychology, offering a potential tool for promoting healthy relationships and preventing violence.
