The Nondiscriminating Heart: Lovingkindness Meditation Training Decreases Implicit Intergroup Bias - Limitations and Future Directions

Limitations:

  • The study measured participants’ implicit biases only a few days after the intervention, which indicates that the long-term impact of lovingkindness practice on intergroup attitudes remains unknown.
  • The exact mediators of this effect are still unclear.

Future Directions:

  • Future studies could test the long-term durability of the effects of lovingkindness meditation and whether the changes in attitudes can lead to any real-life consequences.
  • They can also further examine potential mediating mechanisms.
