Which term reflects recognizing and sharing another person's feelings?

• A. Stereotype
• B. Bias
• C. Empathy
• D. Prejudice

Answer: (C)

Empathy is about tuning into what someone else is feeling and, in a sense, feeling alongside them. It involves recognizing their emotions and sharing in that experience, which helps you respond with understanding and support. Stereotype involves generalizations about a group and doesn’t address someone’s personal feelings. Bias is a tendency to favor or disfavor, not necessarily tied to another person’s emotional state. Prejudice is a preconceived judgment about someone or a group, again not about emotionally connecting with how they feel. Because empathy centers on recognizing and sharing another’s emotional experience, it best fits the description.
