Improvements in Compassion and Fears of Compassion throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic
During large-scale disasters, social support, caring behaviours, and compassion are shown to protect against poor mental health outcomes. This multi-national study aimed to assess the fluctuations in compassion over time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents (Time 1 n = 4156, Time 2 n = 980, Time 3 n = 825) from 23 countries completed online self-report questionnaires measuring the flows of compassion (i.e., Compassionate Engagement and Actio…

The development of compassionate engagement and action scales for self and others

The debt of gratitude
We investigated the relationship between the emotional states of gratitude and indebtedness in two studies. Although many have suggested that these affects are essentially equivalent, we submit that they are distinct emotional states. Following Heider (1958), we propose that with increasing expectations of return communicated with a gift by a benefactor, indebtedness should increase but gratitude should decrease. The results of two vignette studi…
Gratitude and Happiness
The purpose of these studies was to develop a valid measure of trait gratitude, and to evaluate the relationship of gratitude to subjective well-being (SWB). Four studies were conducted evaluating the reliability and validity of the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test (GRAT), a measure of dispositional gratitude. This measure was shown to have good internal consistency and temporal stability. The GRAT was shown to relate positively to vari…
Attitudes Toward Black English and Code Switching
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine African American adults' perceptions of those African Americans who use Black English (BE), Standard English (SE), or code switch (CS) between the two languages. African American male and female college students were exposed to an audiotaped man speaking in BE, SE, appropriate CS (SE in a formal setting and BE in an informal setting), or inappropriate CS (BE in a formal setting and SE in an …
Alcohol use and interpersonal violence
To characterize the relationship between alcohol use and homicide victimization, we used data from the Los Angeles City Police Department and the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office to study 4,950 victims of criminal homicides in Los Angeles in the period 1970-79. Alcohol was detected in the blood of 1,883 (46 per cent) of the 4,092 victims who were tested. In 30 per cent of those tested, the blood alcohol level was greater than or equal to 100…
