The hierarchical factor structure of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) (Davis, 1980) inventory was investigated with the Schmid-Leiman orthogonalization procedure (Schmid & Leiman, 1957). The sample consisted of 409 college students. The analysis found that the IRI could be factored into four first-order factors, corresponding to the four scales of the IRI, and two second-order orthogonal factors, a general empathy factor and an emotional control factor.

• Measuring empathic tendencies : reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the interpersonal reactivity index (2007, result): “This intercorrelation pattern has shown to be fairly consistent across prior studies (e.g., Carey, Fox, & Spraggins, 1988; Cliffordson, 2001; Pulos et al., 2004) and thus provides additional evidence for the scale scores’ construct validity.”
