Wisdom-Based Buddhist-Derived Meditation Practices for Prosocial Behaviour: A Systematic Review

ConclusionsOverall, the findings of this systematic literature review reinforce the perspective that wisdom-based meditation practices contribute to prosocial behaviour. However, to enhance the understanding of the underlying causes of prosocial behaviour, future studies should isolate the effects of different meditation practices incorporated within MBIs. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended that future studies assessing the impact of MBIs on prosocial behaviour employ a range of diverse measures, such as self-reported psychometric scales in combination with real-world morally relevant scenarios.PreregistrationPROSPERO: Registration No. CRD42023426411.
