Nurturing Compassion Development Among College Students: A Longitudinal Study

Little research exists on the development of compassion among college undergraduates. This study tracks changes in compassion and identifies factors associated with these changes over the course of undergraduate students’ college careers, from the time of admittance to the time of graduation. Compassion levels assessed at the point of college entrance accounted for 25% of the variance in compassion at the time of graduation. These findings provided evidence for the notion that compassion can continue to be cultivated once in college. Predictors such as diversity training, the frequency of religious service attendance, participation in community-based service-learning, political identification, and feeling valued as a member of the university community accounted for an additional 10% of the variance in compassion scores at the time of graduation. Results suggest that compassion development in college students may increase through the use of particular intentional educational experiences

Drawing graphs with vertices and edges in convex position

A graph has strong convex dimension $2$, if it admits a straight-line drawing in the plane such that its vertices are in convex position and the midpoints of its edges are also in convex position. Halman, Onn, and Rothblum conjectured that graphs of strong convex dimension $2$ are planar and therefore have at most $3n-6$ edges. We prove that all such graphs have at most $2n-3$ edges while on the other hand we present a class of non-planar graphs of strong convex dimension $2$. We also give lower bounds on the maximum number of edges a graph of strong convex dimension $2$ can have and discuss variants of this graph class. We apply our results to questions about large convexly independent sets in Minkowski sums of planar point sets, that have been of interest in recent years.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, improved expositio
