“…Also, compassion for others has been found to be influenced by environmental factors, one has experienced during childhood, such as different aspects of parenting (Eisenberg, VanSchyndel, et al., 2015; Hintsanen et al., 2019) and forms of early child care arrangements (Gluschkoff et al., 2018). It has further been shown that compassion and compassion‐related phenotypes have a significant genetic component (Ando et al., 2004; Dobewall et al., 2021; Gillespie et al., 2003; Pełka‐Wysiecka et al., 2012). Twin studies have shown that it is difficult to distinguish shared genetics from environmental effects (Avinun & Knafo‐Noam, 2015; Eisenberg, Spinrad, et al., 2015; Knafo‐Noam et al., 2020) suggesting that parental influences are often explained by the genotype, not environmental effects.…”
