Editorial: Compassion: From Neuroscience to New Horizons and Innovative, Inclusive Research Agendas

This research topic issue follows on from ‘Expanding the Science of Compassion’ (Mongrain, Keltner and Kirby, 2021), which explored the neuroscience, physiological, psychological, and environmental aspects of the experience of compassion. This issue extends the understanding of compassion to include compassion in health psychology, pedagogical practice in higher education, organizations and leadership. It introduces innovative approaches from scholars working in diverse research contexts that include South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Slovenia, and highlights new horizons for organizational neuroscience research.
