Compassionate love is a form of altruistic, caring love that emphasizes concern for the other’s well-being (Kim et al., J Posit Psychol Wellbeing 2(1):23–44, 2018; Miller et al., Hast Dev Psychol 51(1):36–43, 2015). Recently, there has been an increase in prejudice toward some culturally diverse out-groups. In response, the South African government and citizens have called for compassion. In four studies, Sinclair, Fehr, Wang, and Regehr (Soc Psychol Personal Sci 7(2):176–183, 2016) found that people who are high in compassionate love tend to express less prejudice than those who are low. Furthermore, they found that people high in compassionate love had more positive attitudes toward culturally diverse out-groups, including foreigners. Building personal relationships with culturally diverse out-group members is an important catalyst for positive cultural intergroup attitudes. The objective of the chapter was to present a critical review of the way in which compassionate love holds promise as a positive pathway to prejudice reduction. A compassionate love scale can be used, in alternative forms, to assess compassionate or altruistic love for different targets (e.g., culturally diverse out-groups and all of humankind). Compassionate love was found to be associated positively with prosocial behavior, as directed both to close others and to all of humanity. Evidence was found that compassionate love is distinct from empathy (Collins et al., J Soc Pers Relat 1–29, 2014; Sprecher and Fehr, J Soc Pers Relat 22(5):629–651, 2005).
