"Not participating readily in interactions" is one English equivalent of the adjective "unreactive".

Specifically, the word can be used to describe a personality that is somewhat introverted, reclusive or taciturn. It also describes a chemical reaction in which one participant remains relatively inert, non-active. Additionally, the word may be used in terms of the pupils of a patient's eyes being non-responsive to light.
