To further understand the role of self-focused constructs in prosocial responding, the present study investigated the relationship between self-compassion and prosocial tendencies. It was hypothesized that composite self-compassion would be correlated with prosocial tendencies, and particularly that the common humanity subscale of self-compassion would be correlated with prosocial tendencies. Results showed that the self-compassion composite did not predict prosocial tendencies. However, common humanity was correlated with prosocial tendencies, which supported the secondary hypothesis.
