Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI)

The Interpersonal Reactivity Index is a measure of dispositional empathy that takes as its starting point the notion that empathy consists of a set of separate but related constructs. The instrument contains four seven-item subscales, each tapping into a separate facet of empathy.

In RADAR Old Wave 7 to Wave 9, and RADAR Young Wave 2 to Wave 6, the Fantasy (7 items) and and Personal Distress (7 items) subscales were not included. In RADAR Old Wave 10 to Wave 14, and RADAR Young Wave 7 to Wave 11, only the Fantasy subcale was not included.
