Abstract

Mindfulness, and loving-kindness and compassion (LKC) can all affect the altruistic behavior in different ways. In this study, a research model was established in which two variables were mediated by different empathy on altruistic behavior and compared with three competitive models. To compare the influence of the mindfulness and the influence of the LKC on the altruistic behavior, the mediation path analysis was conducted. As a result of the analysis, the model fit of the research model in which mindfulness predicts altruistic behavior through cognitive empathy or dual mediation of cognitive empathy and emotional empathy, and LKC predicts altruistic behavior through affective empathy was significant. It was better than the three competition models. Furthermore, through the mediation path analysis, it was confirmed that the indirect path for LKC to predict altruistic behavior through affective empathy was stronger than the two pathways for mindfulness to predict altruistic behavior. This study showed that mindfulness and LKC have different mechanisms for altruistic behavior, and in particular, that LKC has great predictive power on altruistic behavior than mindfulness. Finally, the limitations of this study and future research directions are described.
