An experiment involving 115 undergraduate students (74.8% females; mean age = 20.5 years, SD = 4.3) was conducted to explore effects of meditation on social connectedness, nature connectedness, and affect. Participants listened to one of three brief guided meditation Mp3 recordings via the internet, which involved mindfulness meditation (MM), loving-kindness meditation (LKM), or progressive muscle relaxation (active control group). Participants in the MM and LKM groups reported greater social and nature connectedness at post-test than those in the control group. There were no significant differences in connectedness between the MM and LKM groups, suggesting they are both effective for enhancing connectedness. There were no significant changes in negative or positive affect at post-test due to the interventions. Recommendations for future research are provided.
一项针对115名本科生（74.8%为女性；平均年龄=20.5岁，标准差=4.3）的实验，旨在探究冥想对社会联结、与自然的联结及情感的影响。参与者通过互联网收听了三段简短的引导冥想Mp3录音中的一段，其中包括正念冥想（MM）、慈爱冥想（LKM）或渐进性肌肉松弛（活性对照组）。MM组和LKM组的参与者在测试后报告的社会和自然联结程度高于对照组。MM组和LKM组在联结方面没有显著差异，表明它们在增强联结方面都有效。干预后，消极或积极情绪没有显著变化。文中还给出了对未来研究的建议。
