dc.description.abstractObjective Compassion, defined as other-oriented concern and the desire to alleviate suffering, is an emerging area of focus in the psychology of wellbeing. Compassion is linked to many positive outcomes, including stress reduction and prosocial behaviour. However, the personality traits that predict compassion have not been established. Method Canadian (N = 555, 75.8% women) and Spanish (N = 371; 60.8% women) adults ranging in age from 17 to 68 years completed the HEXACO-60 personality inventory, a trait emotional intelligence (EI) scale, and a measure of compassion for others using online survey software. Results Regression analyses found that in both samples, emotionality was the strongest predictor, accounting for over 10% of the unique variance in compassion scores. Trait EI and honesty-humility and openness also predicted compassion, while agreeableness was significant only among Canadians, suggesting cross-cultural differences in personality antecedents. It was also found that women reported more compassion than men, and Spanish participants reported more compassion than Canadians. Conclusions This study found that emotional sensitivity and emotional intelligence characterize compassionate individuals, and this was true in two distinct cultures. The findings further understanding of the personality underpinnings of compassion for others.en
