Indeed, Compassion has been discussed for centuries by ancient spiritual and religious traditions, however this construct became a subject of interest in science only recently. Over the last years, psychological research highlighted a number of benefits and positive outcomes related to Compassion. For instance, in the area of social psychology, Compassion was identified as a driver of positive social psychological outcomes, such as prosocial behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this talk, I will present my PhD project, which is focused on studying Compassion from a social psychological perspective. First, I will present two validation studies, aimed at developing reliable measures to assess dispositional compassion in the Italian population, which are currently missing in the literature. Second, I will present an experimental study investigating compassion experienced toward positively or negatively portrayed targets, with the aim of understanding whether compassion promotes positive emotional reactions toward a target, even when the target is judged negatively. Finally, potential future developments will be discussed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding Compassion: The construct, its measurement, its link with prosocial behavior &#8211; Alice Lucarini (University of Padova)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-8"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":630,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629\/revisions\/630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
