Business Students' Listening Styles and Compassion

What is it about?

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the four listening styles of business communication students on their demonstration of compassion for others and themselves. This study found that people listening positively affected both compassion and self-compassion. Another finding was that action listening negatively affected both compassion and self-compassion.
