“According to Underwood's framework, which has informed a substantial portion of the scientific research, 5 key and defining features of compassionate love are:[6]

Free choice for the other

Some degree of accurate cognitive understanding of the situation, the other, and oneself

Valuing the other at a fundamental level

Openness and receptivity

Response of the heart.”
