| Abstract | The Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) is a widely used multidimensional measure to assess empathy across four main dimensions: perspective taking (PT) empathic concern (EC) personal distress (PD) fantasy (F). This study concerns a new 16 items shortened version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index that showed good fits with both the CFA (χ2 = 117.967; df = 91; CFI = .975; TLI = .968; RMSEA = .031) and the gender Measurement Invariance. A total of 683 Italian university students participated in a non-probabilistic sampling. The internal consistency measures were found to be fully satisfactory. Convergent validity was tested by the correlations with the Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) and The Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20). As hypothesized the measure proved good convergent validity with Prosocialness, i.e. the willingness to assist, help, share, care and empathy with others, and a relevant inverse association with the External Oriented Thinking (EOT), characterizing individuals with emotionally poor thinking. This research provided additional evidence for a link between alexithymia and poor empathic abilities. The instrument is therefore proposed for evaluative use in clinical and educational settings. IRI-B could be useful for its predictive value especially in adolescence as alexithymic components have been often associated with various forms of addiction, eating disorders, post-traumatic disorders, abuse and violence suffered. Considering the antecedent role that empathic dimensions have for altruistic activation, IRI-B could also find utilization to explore the personality correlates of caregivers who serve in helping settings (physicians, nurses, and volunteers), contributing to predict both their emotional availability to the suffering of others and potential signs of professional burnout. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
