Abstract: 
The study examines the relationship between sociotropy, autonomy, and empathy in interpersonal relationships among Indian adults aged 18-40. A correlational research design was used, with 225 participants meeting the criteria of high school education and English proficiency. The Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale and Interpersonal Reactivity Index were employed to measure participants' levels of sociotropy, autonomy and empathy. The findings of the study reveal no significant relationship between sociotropy, autonomy, and empathy in interpersonal relationships.
