dailymail.co.uk REPORTED: The United States is one of the most empathetic countries in the world, according to a new study – but it falls behind Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, and Peru.

Researchers surveyed more than 104,000 people from 63 countries, measuring their compassion for others and tendency to imagine others’ point of view.

The results come as a surprise even to the researchers, who note that some of the top ranking countries have long been tied to ‘aggression and wars.’

Researchers from Michigan State University, the University of Chicago, and Indiana University conducted an online survey to look at empathy on a county-by-country level.
