- 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.
