Abstract

Abstract: The present multi-sample study ( N = 723) explores in depth the construct of dispositional compassion and its assessment, relying on two recent multidimensional scales: the Sussex-Oxford Compassion Scale – toward Others (SOCS-O; Gu et al., 2020 ) and the Compassion Scale (CS; Pommier et al., 2020 ). First, we validated the two scales in Italian, finding substantial support for their original factor structures and second-order solutions aggregating first-order factors into a general dispositional compassion factor. Second, we tested the simultaneous links between SOCS-O and CS facets via network analysis to identify which facets stand at the core of dispositional compassion or are more distal. Kindness (CS) and Feeling (SOCS-O) facets were more central components of compassion, leaning on the ability to tune in to (CS Mindfulness) and understand others’ pain (SOCS-O Universality) and connected to the urge to alleviate that pain (SOCS-O Acting). Third, we explored the nomological net of correlates of dispositional compassion and examined the differences between the SOCS-O and the CS in their relationship with the correlates. Results supported the convergent and discriminant validity of the scales and showed that the SOCS-O, compared to the CS, may capture some emotionally aversive sides of compassion.

摘要/ Abstract摘要:本研究采用两种最新的多维度量表:Sussex-Oxford compassion Scale - towards Others (SOCS-O; SOCS-O);Gu et al.， 2020)和同情量表(CS;Pommier et al.， 2020)。首先，我们用意大利语验证了这两个量表，发现它们的原始因素结构和二阶解决方案得到了实质性的支持，二阶解决方案将一阶因素聚集成一个一般的性格同情因素。其次，我们通过网络分析测试了soc - o和CS方面之间的同时联系，以确定哪些方面处于性格同情的核心或更远。善良(CS)和情感(soc - o)方面是同情的更核心组成部分，依赖于调整(CS正念)和理解他人痛苦(soc - o普遍性)的能力，并与减轻痛苦的冲动(soc - o行动)联系在一起。第三，我们探索了性格同情相关因素的法理网络，并考察了社会情感感知与社会情感感知在与相关因素的关系上的差异。结果支持了量表的收敛效度和区分效度，并表明与CS相比，soc - o可能捕捉到同情的某些情绪厌恶方面。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
