\description{
This simulated dataset, based on Van Lissa et al., 2014, contains six annual
assessments of adolescents' mean scores on the empathic concern and
perspective taking subscales of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index
(Davis, 1983). The first measurement wave occurred when adolescents were, on
average, 13 years old, and the last one when they were 18 years old.
