Letter to the editor concerning Perenc & Peczkowski ’s “Cognitive and affective empathy among adolescent siblings of children with a physical disability.”

We read with great interest the article by Perenc& Peczkowski [1] showing that first-grade adolescent siblings of children with a physical disability have a significantly higher empathy. This was measured by the Polish version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), which is a standard instrument developed in the early 1980s to assess empathy in the general population [2].
