Abstract

The present study examined the effect of the Mindful Lovingkindness-Compassion Program(MLCP) on depression, rumination, mindfulness, self-compassion, and social connectedness in students prone to depression. The total of 1,081 undergraduate students completed the CES-D. Finally, 34 students who got over 19 points in CES-D were selected. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group(MLCP) composed of 8 sessions or the control group. To identify the effect of MLCP, pre- and post data was analyzed using ANOVA, and paired  test was conducted for analyzing the sustaining effect of MLCP. The results of this study showed that participants in the experimental group exhibited a decrease in depression and rumination, and an increase in mindfulness, compassion, and social connectedness, than those in the control group. In particular, the effect of MLCP in the experimental group was maintained at the follow-up assessment 4 weeks later. The implications and limitations of this study, as well as suggestions for further research, are discussed.
