dispassionateness
Calm, unbiased stance
The quality of being calm, impartial, and uninfluenced by strong emotion.
Dispassionateness is valued in judges, scientists, and mediators—anyone expected to render fair judgment without personal bias clouding their reasoning: Her dispassionateness made her an effective arbitrator.
The word is formal and somewhat unwieldy; *objectivity* or *detachment* often serves the same purpose.
