Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper examines whether three weeks of mobile-app-based mindfulness meditation training increases prosocial behavior compared to an active control group focused on cognitive skills. The study measured compassionate responding by observing whether participants offered their seat to a confederate displaying physical discomfort in a waiting room setting. Results indicated that the mindfulness group was more likely to give up their seat, though the practice did not improve empathic accuracy, suggesting the behavior is not driven by enhanced emotional decoding.
