Numerous research studies link mindfulness training to improved empathy. However, few studies focus on the mediating factors of empathy. This work has three objectives: (a) to analyze the possible mediation of mindfulness as a feature in this relation, (b) to analyze the mindfulness factors that mediate in the increase of empathy and (c) to analyze the moderating role of gender. The sample was composed of 246 Spanish-speaking university students ( = 24.08 years, = 8.43). The instruments used were the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire () and the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (). For data analysis, the indirect effect was calculated using 10000 bootstrap samples for the bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals (). The improvement of empathy is mediated by the changes in mindfulness trait (B = 0.233, < 0.001), disappearing in the presence of this mediator, the direct effect of mindfulness practice on empathy (B = 0.161, = 0.394). We did not find a differential functioning of this mediation according to gender. and are the factors that mediate significantly between mindfulness practice and empathy.
许多研究将正念训练与同理心的提高联系起来。然而，很少有研究关注同理心的中介因素。这项工作有三个目标：(a) 分析正念作为这种关系中的一个特征可能起到的中介作用，(b) 分析在同理心增加过程中起中介作用的正念因素，以及 (c) 分析性别的调节作用。样本由246名讲西班牙语的大学生组成（平均年龄 = 24.08岁，标准差 = 8.43）。使用的工具是五因素正念问卷（FFMQ）和多伦多同理心问卷（TEQ）。对于数据分析，使用10000个自抽样样本计算偏差校正自抽样置信区间的间接效应。正念特质的变化介导了同理心的提高（B = 0.233，p < 0.001），在存在这种中介变量的情况下，正念练习对同理心的直接效应消失（B = 0.161，p = 0.394）。我们没有发现这种中介作用因性别而异。观察和描述是正念练习与同理心之间显著起中介作用的FFMQ因素。
