Conceptualizing aderrrett, 2013). Additionally, in relation to the prototype approach, Shaver et al. (1987) compared the prototype of fear with the prototype of compassion and confidently state that the prototype of fear is unpleasant and highly arousing while the prototype of compassion appears to be pleasant and low arousal.
Compassion in Organizational Life
A study (Kanov et al. 2004) held the goal of exploring compassion in work organizations.
More importantly, Kanov et al. (2004) conclude that compassion frequently occurs in response to
another person’s suffering. Moreover, it went on to explore the type of process that compassion
can be identified as, the elements associated with compassion, compassion’s eliciting event, …show more content…
Clark (1997) states becoming aware of another person’s pain and/or suffering while also noticing
the pain that they are in is the first critical step in the compassion process. In order to notice that
someone is in pain/suffering, we can either cognitively appraise the situation or we can
unconsciously experience that person’s emotional and/or physical distress. Secondly, Clark
(1997) states that our feeling of compassion allows others to successfully connect to another
person’s hurt and anguish. Lastly, Clark (1997) states that the ability to experience and feel the
other person’s pain allows us to try and help eliminate the other person’s hurt (Reich, 1989;
von Dietze & Orb, 2000). Therefore, it appears that Clark (1997) firmly believes that compassion
is synonymous with approach behavior. Additionally, Kanov et al. (2004) discuss both the
eliciting event of compassion and compassion’s overall effects.
As stated by Frost, Dutton, Worline, and Wilson (2000) and Reich (1989), compassion’s
eliciting event stems from people seeing other people’s suffering and anguish that causes them …show more content…
In the end, participants who participated in a three-week meditation program revolving around mindfulness were more likely to show more compassion. The active control group of participants showed more compassion than those in the passive control group. This study had no gender comparisons. These findings affirm that such upgraded prosocial conduct need not come from modifications in empathic precision.
A randomized controlled trial of compassion cultivation training: Effects on mindfulness, affect, and emotion regulation.
Jazaieri et al. (2014) were interested in finding out if “compassion cultivation training affects
cognitive and emotional factors that support psychological flexible and adaptive functioning” (p.
23). To do this, Jazaieri et al. (2014) conducted a randomized control trial made up of 100 adults
from the surrounding community that were automatically assigned to either a nine-week
compassion cultivation training (CCT) or a waitlist (WL) control condition. Moreover, Jazaieri et
al. (2014) required the 100 adult participants to complete self-reports which held the purpose
