コンパッションとウェルビーイング

―調査，実験，介入研究とマインドフルネスとの関係性について―

抄録

The aim of this study was to review current conceptualizations, assessment measures, experiments, and interventions of compassion towards self and others. Compassion is an emotional state or psychological tendency. Several surveys and experiments have demonstrated that compassion leads to improved well-being. Compassion-based interventions (CBIs) apply Buddhist loving-kindness and compassion meditation. In addition, several meta-analyses from various fields show that CBIs improve well-being in various subjects. However, the process of improving well-being through CBIs remains unclear when taking into account details such as perceptions, attitude, and response tendencies. Empirical research indicates that compassion is beneficial for well-being and the ability to manage distress. However, future studies examining the process of CBIs using active control groups are warranted to extend these findings.
