An 8-week loving-kindness meditation guided by a short video app led to higher oneness belief, positive affect, and pro-environmental behavior, and lower negative affect, compared with a wait-list control group. College students in China who completed the app-based meditation showed these improvements, while the control group showed no changes. The findings suggest that digital delivery of loving-kindness meditation can foster psychological and behavioral benefits related to environmental concern.
