Abstract
This research evaluates how empathy and risk response influence pandemic health behaviors. Results indicate that empathy can increase the amount a person wears masks and social distances. Risk response explains some of the relationship between empathy and health behaviors due to anxiety felt regarding how COVID-19 will affect the individual.
