When watching others in pain, women’s brains show more empathy. Christov-Moore (2019) found that that females are better at feeling others’ pain, at really getting the feeling that the other person is having right now. Female participants in the study showed relatively higher activation in a sensory area of the brain associated with pain than their male counterparts. Empathy is the ability of a person to understand the emotional make-up of other people. It also involves skill in dealing with people according to their emotional reactions;. At the very least, empathy requires being able to read another’s emotions; at a higher level, it entails sensing and responding to a person’s unspoken concerns of feelings. At the highest levels, empathy is understanding the issues or concerns that lie behind another’s feelings. Current study focusses on the level of feeling of empathy by women who are single and are employed in private sector banks in Chennai city.
