It is a feeling that seeks to accompany the pain or suffering of a person, If we see that someone suffers and we understand their situation and accompany them emotionally, this means that we are empathic.In which countries can we find the population more empathy? Can you guess it? The result may surprise you a lot.

The Michigan State University conducted a study, recently published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, to determine where the most empathic population was in 64 countries in which the study was conducted .To do this, 104,000 people were interviewed online.
The interview format mediates the compassion felt by the people and the ability to put themselves in the place of another .The results obtained are quite surprising, and it was found that the higher the level of empathy, people are n more kind, responsible, more willing to help others and more emotional.

Ecuador Saudi Arabia Peru Peru Denmark United Arab Emirates South Korea United States Taiwan Costa Rica Kuwait Middle Eastern countries are on the list of the top ten, including William Chopik, the author of the study was surprised, due to the history of wars and violence in the region.Shopik explained that the result may be due that there is a different empathy within the same countries and personal groups as there are towards other nationalities and cultures .The study did not differentiate this factor, so its theory could be correct.
Chopik points out that according to the study, people in Ecuador seem to be more emotionally expressive, more generous and are characterized by having a more collectivist than individualistic culture .
On the other hand, most African countries were excluded from the study because they had a very low number of volunteers compared to others.
Among the least empathic they were mostly from Eastern European countries, and the last place was taken by Lithuania.
