The study discussed below is one that centers around the following research question: Is gender identification at birth correlated with empathy level? In understanding the empathy levels of humans, one can gain insight into the topic of empathy with relation to gender and the role that empathy of different genders plays in human society. Moreover, this study holds the possibility of illustrating that transgender people mentally identify with the empathy levels of an alternative gender, contributing to a higher level of understanding from human society. In understanding those who are trangender more fully, studies such this one could increase societal toleration, allowing transgender people the acceptance they deserve. After collecting dozens of responses via a virtual survey, the collected data was analyzed via the Chi Square Test for Association and the Mann-Whitney U-Test. Ultimately, both tests determined that the collected data was highly statistically significant, indicating that gender identification at birth is correlated with empathy level.
