In our study the relationship between empathy and the big five personality model was evaluated. The general hypothesis in our study is that empathy is positively associated with agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness; while negatively associated with extraversion and not associated with neuroticism. The sample consisted of 117 male and female university students between 21 and 60 years old, assessed with regionally validated measures. Bivariate correlations and a hierarchical multiple regression were used to test the hypotheses. The effects of gender were controlled in the first step of the regression analysis. Consistent with the hypotheses, agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness were positively correlated with empathy. In the multiple regression analysis, agreeableness, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion also made statistically significant contributions in the prediction of empathy. La empatía ha sido relacionada con un sin número de variables psicológicas, entre ellas el comportamiento prosocial, la agresión, y las relaciones intergrupales. En nuestro estudio, se evaluó la asociación entre la empatía y el modelo de los cinco grandes factores de personalidad. Como hipótesis general se afirma que la empatía se encuentra asociada de manera positiva con la amabilidad, la apertura a la experiencia, y la responsabilidad; mientras que de forma negativa con la extraversión y no estaría relacionada con el neuroticismo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 117 estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos, de entre 21 y 60 años de edad evaluados con instrumentos validados en el contexto regional. Se utilizaron análisis de correlaciones bivariadas y un análisis de regresión múltiple jerárquico para contrastar las hipótesis. Se controló el género de los participantes en el primer paso del análisis de regresión. Los resultados mostraron que, en coincidencia con las hipótesis planteadas, la amabilidad, la apertura a la experiencia, y la responsabilidad estuvieron positivamente asociadas a la empatía. A vez, el análisis de regresión múltiple jerárquica halló que la amabilidad, la apertura a la experiencia, la responsabilidad, y la extraversión son predictores del nivel de empatía.
