- 소개/요약This dissertation comprised a unique experiment examining the effects of a mindfulness intervention on stereotyping and empathy in a sample of university undergraduates. Participants were randomly assigned either to a 20-minute mindfulness meditation condition or to a 20-minute control condition. Post-intervention, participants watched a scripted videotaped counseling session between an elderly female client and a female counselor. The videotape was balanced for elderly stereotype-consistent, neutral, and elderly stereotype-inconsistent information. Individuals were asked to fill out measures on state mindfulness, memory, empathic identification with the client, attributions regarding the client's problems, an open-ended description of the client, and three individual client-orientation measures. Main hypotheses for this study related to group differences and individual differences in state mindfulness. Hypotheses regarding group differences were that the experimental group would demonstrate more state mindfulness, more accurately remember information about the client, remember more stereotype-inconsistent information about the client, show greater levels of empathic identification with the client, attribute the client's problems more to external forces, and show a more positive orientation toward the client than individuals assigned to the control condition. Hypotheses related to state mindfulness were that individuals with higher (versus lower) levels of state mindfulness would reflect the experimental group differences mentioned above. Results showed a main effect for group in state mindfulness, such that individuals assigned to the experimental (versus control) group demonstrated higher levels of state mindfulness. No other main effects were found for group on any of the outcome variables. State mindfulness was positively correlated with empathic identification and behavioral intention. Supplemental analyses showed that positive mood, experience with complementary and alternative medicine, trait mindfulness, and trait empathy moderated the effects of the intervention on some outcome variables. All moderator variables were significantly related to outcomes for individuals in the control group but not for those in the experimental group. Correlations between other trait and state measures and outcomes revealed that positive mood was most consistently related to outcomes. Implications of these results in terms of the impact of mindfulness training on the counselor-client relationship are discussed._x000D_
