The Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) is a published measurement tool for the multi-dimensional assessment of empathy. It was developed by Mark H. Davis, a professor of psychology at Eckerd College.〔MH Davis "Measuring individual differences in empathy: Evidence for a multidimensional approach." '' Journal of personality and social psychology,'' 1983 v.44:1 p.113-126 ()〕 The tool is widely used--the paper describing it〔 has been cited 3697 times, according to Google Scholar.〔() 〕 The tool is a self-report comprising 28-items answered on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “Does not describe me well” to “Describes me very well”. The four subscales〔http://psycnet.apa.org/index.cfm?fa=buy.optionToBuy&id=1983-22418-001〕 are: # ''Perspective Taking'' - the tendency to spontaneously adopt the psychological point of view of others. # ''Fantasy'' - taps respondents' tendencies to transpose themselves imaginatively into the feelings and actions of fictitious characters in books, movies, and plays # ''Empathic Concern'' – assesses "other-oriented" feelings of sympathy and concern for unfortunate others # ''Personal Distress'' – measures "self-oriented" feelings of personal anxiety and unease in tense interpersonal settings Example questions *11.
