Research suggests that mindfulness can induce changes in the social domain, such as
enhancing emotional connection to others, prosocial behavior, and empathy. However,
despite growing interest in mindfulness in social psychology, very little is known about
the effects of mindfulness on social cognition. Consequently, the aim of this study was
to explore the relationship between mindfulness and social cognition by comparing
meditators with non-meditators on several social cognition measures. A total of 60
participants (meditators, n = 30; non-meditators, n = 30) were matched on sex, age,
and ethnic group, and then asked to complete the following assessment measures:
Mindful Awareness Attention Scale (MAAS), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire
Short Form (FFMQ-SF), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), Revised Eyes Test, Hinting
Task, Ambiguous Intentions and Hostility Questionnaire (AIHQ), Hospital Anxiety and
Depression Scale (HADS), and Screening for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP).
The results showed that meditators reported higher empathy (except for the personal
distress subscale), higher emotional recognition, higher theory of mind (ToM), and
lower hostile attributional style/bias. The findings also demonstrated that dispositional
mindfulness (both total score assessed with MAAS and mindfulness facets using the
FFMQ) was associated with social cognition, although it was not equally correlated
with all social cognition outcomes, and correlation patterns differ when analyses were
conducted separately for meditators and non-meditators. In addition, results showed
potential predictors for each social cognition variable, highlighting non-reactivity to inner
experience as a key component of mindfulness in order to explain social cognition
performance. In summary, the findings indicated that the meditator sample performed
better on certain qualities (i.e., empathy, emotional recognition, ToM, hostile attributional
style/bias) in comparison to non-meditators and, furthermore, support the notion that
mindfulness is related to social cognition, which may have implications for the design of
mindfulness-based approaches for use in clinical and non-clinical settings. [-]
