Abstract

There is little to none research investigating the gender gap from a social perspective. This study will examine motivated empathy using the Theory of Reasoned Action according to masculine norms, attitudes, and gender role conflict. Wellbeing at different empathy levels will be examined to explore benefits and risks of empathy.
