This dataset captures the relational behaviour of 1973 French-speaking students from several universities or schools for higher education in the following fields: engineering (31%), medicine (18%), nursing school (16%), economic sciences (15%), physiotherapy, (4%), psychology (11%), law school (4%) and dietetics (1%). The subjects were 17 to 25 years old (M = 19.6 years, SD = 1.6 years), 57% were females and 43% were males. The feature set is composed of 28 items meant to assess the four following components: fantasy, perspective taking, empathic concern and personal distress. In the questionnaire, the items are shuffled; reversed items (items 3, 4, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19) are present. Items are scored from 0 to 4, where 0 means Doesnt describe me very well and 4 means Describes me very well; reverse-scoring is calculated afterwards. The questionnaires were anonymized. The reanalysis of the database in this retrospective study was approved by the ethical committee of the Erasmus Hospital. (Briganti et al., 2018) Task: The dataset can be used to study causal discovery methods. Summary: Size of dataset: 1973 x 18 Task: Causal Discovery Problem Data Type: Categorical Data Dataset Scope: Standalone Dataset Ground Truth: Unknown Graph Temporal Structure: Static Data License: CC BY 4.0 (see https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/b8d5n5h3gc/1) Missing Values: Existing Missing Values Missingness Statement:Even though the full dataset was composed of 1973 participants, only 1270 answered the full questionnaire. In Briganti et al. (2018), missing data are handled using pairwise complete observations in estimating a Gaussian Graphical Model, meaning that all available information from every subject was used.
