: This study investigated: (1) the effects of the loving-kindness meditation (LKM) on mindfulness, subjective well-being (SWB), and spirituality and (2) the relationships between mindfulness, spirituality, and SWB. : 98 flight attendants from Xiamen Airlines in China were recruited and randomly assigned to the LKM training group ( = 49) or the waiting control group ( = 49). The LKM training group underwent an 8-week LKM training intervention, and the control group did not undergo intervention. The three main variables (SWB, mindfulness, and spirituality) were measured both before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the LKM training intervention. : In the experimental group, SWB and spirituality increased significantly. In the control group, no significant differences were observed for the three variables between the pre-test and post-test. : Our results indicated that LKM may help to improve SWB and spirituality. However, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of the LKM on mindfulness, spirituality, SWB, and other psychological constructs require further elucidation.
(1)慈心禅(LKM)对正念、主观幸福感(SWB)和灵性的影响;(2)正念、灵性和主观幸福感之间的关系。招募了98名来自中国厦门航空的空乘人员,并将他们随机分为慈心禅训练组(n = 49)或等待对照组(n = 49)。慈心禅训练组接受了为期8周的慈心禅训练干预,而对照组未接受干预。在慈心禅训练干预之前(预测试)和之后(后测试)对三个主要变量(主观幸福感、正念和灵性)进行了测量。在实验组中,主观幸福感和灵性显著增加。在对照组中,预测试和后测试之间的三个变量没有观察到显著差异。我们的结果表明,慈心禅可能有助于改善主观幸福感和灵性。然而,慈心禅对正念、灵性、主观幸福感和其他心理结构产生影响的潜在机制需要进一步阐明。
