Cross-Cultural Psychology and Compassion
Cross-cultural psychology evaluates how cultural factors influence people’s behaviour and mental processes. Cross-cultural psychology aims to understand individual differences and commonalities, and to develop an appreciation, respect, and knowledge of cultures distinct from one’s own. Compassion refers to the emotional response of understanding, empathising with, and desiring to alleviate or reduce the suffering or distress of others. Compassion involves noticing the pain or difficulties another person is experiencing and being motivated to help, often characterised by acts of kindness, support, and caring. This entry explores the intersection of these two concepts, illustrating how insights from cross-cultural psychology can contribute to fostering compassion.

This latter specificity involves the mathematics dimension of games and gambling and should be reflected in warning messages and counselling content.
