Compassion or Sympathy: Do we Have a Negative Bias Against Middle Aged Homeless Male Adults
This study looks to explore if the general public view homeless people with either sympathy or compassion as defined as feeling sorry for a human being under unfortunate circumstances but doing nothing to change it, whereas compassion is feeling sorry for a human being under unfortunate circumstances and doing something to change it.
