The Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of the Mindful Self-Care Scale for College Students
ConclusionsThe MSCS and Brief-MSCS have been found to be reliable and valid tools for assessing the levels of mindful self-care among college students, with the brief version showing superior performance. The robust fit of the bifactor model suggests that there is an overarching structure of mindful self-care that can be used to assess an individual ’s level through the total score. Moreover, there are differences in the level of mindful self-care among different groups, which need further verification.PreregistrationThis study is not preregistered. (Source: Mindfulness)

Mindfulness and Religiosity: Four Propositions to Advance a More Integrative Pedagogical Approach

We then consider how mindfulness can be discussed when taught, through the cultivation of intercultural and interreligious competence. To create a clearer direction in the teaching of mindfulness ...

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...
