Developing a Research Design Name Institutional Affiliation 1. Hypothesis: H0: There is a relationship between empathy and morality in an individual. H1: There is no relationship between empathy and morality in an individual. 2. Variables The independent variable is empathy while the dependent is morality. The two might be close to each other, as lack of empathy might lead to immorality. To begin, the independent variable includes traits such as understanding and is characterized by holding traits such as fair treatment, suspended judgment, justice, and right interpersonal relationship with other people (Masto, 2015). The measurement of such characteristics in an individual gives the result of their empathy score (Masto, 2015). An account of the empathy score of an individual might provide his/her characteristics that might relate to the morality of an individual. Morality depends on the level of empathy an individual portray and possess. Therefore, the level of compassion an individual can hold could determine their morality. More, morality would largely depend on the level of understanding an individual hold towards other people. The data that will form the quantifier of the independent variable will come from a closed end questionnaire with its questions on a Likert scale. The scale for use will have a range of 1 to 5 with an answer such as "not at all" forming the lowest score while the highest score of 5 is "definitely." The intermediate scores include "most likely," "likely," and "not sure," which is now the complete Likert. The analysis of the scores using inferential statistics gives the sense of the personality of an individual that renders
