ABSTRACT: Empathy refers to the ability to understand others’ feelings and experiences to produce some cognitive perceptions, that is, the ability to ponder from others’ perspectives. With the fierce competition in society and the growing “information cocoon” in cyberspace, this study is aimed to investigate and study the relevant factors that affect the empathy performance of college students at school. Finally, it has found some factors that have a significant impact on the level of college students’ empathy: gender factors, family education factors, etc. It also tried to arouse the attention of society, teachers and parents to the cultivation of students’ empathy. At the end of the article, it provides some suggestions for cultivating students’ empathy, especially for building a society where rationality and warmth coexist.
