The Nondiscriminating Heart: Lovingkindness Meditation Training Decreases Implicit Intergroup Bias - Method

  • 101 healthy non-Black, non-homeless adults without any previous experience with lovingkindness meditation participated in the study.
  • They were randomly assigned to one of three groups: lovingkindness practice, lovingkindness discussion, or waitlist control condition.
  • Both lovingkindness practice and discussion interventions lasted 6 weeks.
  • Implicit and explicit attitudes, cognitive control, and stress were measured before and after the intervention.
  • Implicit Association Tests (IAT) were used to measure implicit attitudes.
  • Cognitive control was assessed with the Multi-Source Interference Task (MSIT).
  • Psychological stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).
