A randomized controlled trial of 92 Chinese police officers found that a 6-week program of daily 10-minute loving-kindness meditation guided by a short video app improved public service motivation, conflict resolution skills, and communication skills, but did not significantly enhance mindfulness. The intervention used a waitlist control group and validated scales. The results suggest that brief, digitally delivered compassion-focused meditation can be integrated into police training to strengthen prosocial motivation, de-escalation abilities, and public communication, potentially improving police-community interactions.
An 8-week video-guided mindfulness meditation program, delivered via short video apps, significantly reduced communication anxiety, post-traumatic stress symptoms, anger management difficulties, and mood disorders among police officers. In a randomized controlled trial with 92 full-time officers in China, those who completed daily 10-15 minute sessions showed greater improvements on validated measures compared to a control group. The findings suggest that digital mindfulness interventions can be an accessible tool for supporting mental well-being in law enforcement personnel.
A four-week loving-kindness meditation (LKM) program delivered via a short video app improved interpersonal mindfulness, empathy, interdisciplinary collaboration, positive affect, and workplace well-being, while reducing negative affect among full-time employees. In a randomized controlled trial with 100 participants aged 25–60, those who completed daily three-minute LKM sessions showed significantly greater gains in all measured outcomes compared with a no-intervention control group. The findings suggest that brief, digitally guided compassion-based practices can be a feasible tool for enhancing emotional regulation and prosocial qualities in workplace settings.
An 8-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life (MBCT-L) course increased subjective well-being among 85 Taiwanese university students. Overall scores on the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire rose from 3.69 to 3.92 after the intervention. Females initially reported higher baseline well-being than males, but no significant sex differences remained after the course. Score changes varied by sex and internship status, suggesting the course affected different demographic groups differently. The study also validated a short 8-item version of the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire for similar research.
