摘要

We evaluated the efficacy of a brief mindfulness intervention on monetary and in-kind donation decisions. The participants (N = 659) watched either a five-minute meditation video or a neutral video before choosing to donate a portion of their bonus to a charity. They also chose whether to donate an in-kind item to the same charity. We randomly assigned participants to seven need-based scenarios that specified how much (high or low) had already been donated out of how much was needed. The mindfulness meditation video significantly increased monetary donations, a finding that replicates a key result by Iwamoto et al. (2020). The mindfulness video also significantly increased in-kind donation intensity. Two need-based scenarios also significantly influenced in-kind donations. This study adds to the growing body of work that investigates the impact of brief mindfulness induction on prosocial behavior. Our findings suggest that brief mindfulness can elicit altruistic actions with respect to both monetary and in-kind donations.
