Abstract
Compassion and wisdom are two deeply human and social phenomena, rooted in our biology and in the evolution of social structures. But can they be taught and cultivated? This presentation examines qualitative and quantitative survey data from the Finnish CoPassion research project. The project included an intervention by training compassion & emotional skills, with a goal of enhancing compassion at the workplace. This talk discusses results of this intervention, focusing on shifts in compassion (measured via the Santa Clara Brief Compassion Scale), wisdom (measured via 3D-WS-12 scale), and participants’ experiences of the effects of the intervention six months after it, as well as the interrelation between the constructs. This research will shed new light on the definitions and conceptualizations of wisdom in relation to compassion, but also on the ways these constructs evolve through brief interventions, speaking to malleability of trait-wisdom over time.
