We will discuss the biological and environmental factors that influence the empathy of individuals later in life.

Interesting that testosterone influences our empathetic behaviors. There are so many factors that influence our empathy and there is something that biologically may be out of our control. The environment around us influences it as well. You must look at the viewpoints of others in order to better understand them. Good job team, there was a lot of interesting facts in this video!

Although many factors can influence the level of empathy, I was quite surprised to discover the various biological factors that affect empathy. Very well done you guys!

So crazy that testosterone can affect empathy levels. I would be interesting to see a study somehow measuring empathy levels in males vs females. Also makes me grateful than our society here in Canada is so accepting and has collectivist tendencies. Very Informative. Great job you guys!

Very well done guys! The topic of looking at the biological factors and how they influence empathy was very interesting and video was super informative. This was definitely a unique way of looking at empathy and it’s crazy how testosterone can affect empathy.

Very informative video & very easy to follow along!
It was very interesting how you discussed how empathy later in life is influenced by pre-testosterone levels and neurological function. We had no idea that this affected how empathetic an individual was. Also, we thought it was great how you had a section all about culture and empathy. This is such an important topic for health care professionals.
