In addition, it analyzes whether there are significant differences in the social distance to the trans community between psychology students and professionals. The sample had 127 participants, who were recruited based on their availability. The results confirm that the scale has a one-dimensional structure. The 13 items developed by the researchers met the criteria of discrimination and showed appropriate factor loads. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency index for DS-T was .99. There were no significant differences in social distance towards trans people between psychology students and professionals. It was determined how distance and closeness constitute the extremes of empathy, so the larger the distance from a person or community, the lower the probability of being empathetic toward them. El presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Distancia Social hacia Personas Trans (DS-T) en una muestra de profesionales y estudiantes graduados en psicología. Además, se analizó si existen diferencias significativas en la distancia social hacia la comunidad trans entre estudiantes y profesionales de la psicología. La muestra contó con 127 participantes reclutados por disponibilidad. Los resultados confirman que la escala posee una estructura unidimensional. Los 13 ítems desarrollados cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación y obtuvieron cargas factoriales apropiadas. El índice alfa de Cronbach de la DS-T fue de .99. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la distancia social hacia personas trans entre estudiantes y profesionales de la psicología. Se determinó cómo la distancia y la cercanía constituyen extremos de la empatía, por lo que cuanto mayor sea la distancia hacia una persona o comunidad, menor será la probabilidad de desarrollar empatía hacia estas personas.
