Science Behind Kindness and Compassion

Kindness, compassion, civility, respect, empathy, forgiveness, graciousness...why is it that some people seem to display more of these qualities than others? Could you make a list of those you know that either do or don't display these qualities? Which list would you fall in?

The Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will be conducting research on how qualities such as kindness and compassion actually develop and in turn, could be nurtured.
