Abstract: Openness to diversity is vital in improving internal group positive relationship.This study examinedthe influence of interpersonal and social empathy toward openness to diversity of Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students. Furthermore, it delves what factor of interpersonal and social empathy significantly influences the openness to diversity of HUMSS students. Primary data were collected directly from the respondents through two adapted scales. The descriptive-correlation method of research was used to attain the study’s objectives. The respondents of this study were the 123 grade 12 HUMSS students of Sto. Tomas National High School from school year 2019 – 2020. The findings of the study revealed that the level of interpersonaland social empathy and openness to diversity of senior high school students are both high. It was also revealed that there is a positive, high and significant relationship between interpersonal and social empathy and openness to diversity. Moreover, it was found out that the macro-perspective taking and self-other awareness are the domains that significantly influence openness to diversity. This means that if the students show consideration and sensible with other’s way of living there is a great possibility that they are open with diversity.
