2 Compassion Santa Clara Brief Compassion Scale Please answer the following questions honestly and quickly using the scale below SCBC 1 SCBC 2 SCBC3 SCBC4 SCBC5 When I hear about someone (a stranger) going through a difficult time, I feel a great deal of compassion for him/her. I tend to feel compassion for people, even though I do not know them. One of the activities that provide me with the most meaning to my life is helping others in the world when they need help. I would rather engage in actions that help others, even though they are strangers, than engage in actions that would help me. I often have tender feelings toward people (strangers) when they seem to be in need.
