This research looks at the influence of internalized empathy on attitudes towards animal rights. It was hypothesize that the more moral one is, the more likely one is to be empathetic towards animals. The instrument was a survey that consisted of two scales. One scale was titled The Animal Rights Scale, and the other was called The Social Morality Scale. Nine demographic variables were measured: age, sex, U.S. citizen, college, race, political affiliation, marital status, income and location. The sample consisted of 600 students surveyed at Western Illinois University, with a total of 41 responses. Chi-square and multiple regression were used to test the hypotheses. Results indicated that there was no significant effect on morality and attitudes towards animals. While not statistically significant, all responses for the morality scale proved to be extremely moral, and fairly sympathetic towards animal rights. The testing of the relationship between the demographic variables and the two scales produced the following:the sample was skewed towards graduate students; the only demographic variable that proved to be statistically significant. A majority of these graduate students scored as less moral on the scale. Females were likely to be more moral and more empathetic towards animals. Race indicated that African Americans and Whites were likely to be less moral compared to Asians who were very moral and more empathetic towards animals. Both Democrats and Independents were less moral and less empathetic towards animals. People who are unmarried are both more moral and more empathetic towards animals. People with higher incomes were likely to be more moral, and more sympathetic towards animals. Structural functionalist theory was used to guide this research.
