英文摘要Individual behaviour change and political measures are required to solve pressing global environmental crises such as climate change. Identification with an ingroup that includes all humanity (i.e., a global identity) was positively related to pro-environmental engagement in various studies, but little is known about how to foster a global identity. We argue that meditation with a focus on cultivating compassion might increase global identity because connectedness with people all over the world is a traditional goal of such practice. In a randomised controlled intervention study with pre-post design (N =164, Germany), participants received an app-based 7-day meditation course. Controlling for pre-survey levels, compared to the waiting control group, the meditation group reported stronger changes in global identity and pro-environmental behaviour but not climate policy support. We found that participating in the meditation course indirectly predicted changes in pro-environmental behaviour through a strengthened global self-investment, as one dimension of global identity. Moreover, we also found stronger changes in nature connectedness in the meditation group compared to the control group. Hence, a 7-day app-based compassion meditation course indeed seems to cultivate connectedness - with both humans and the broader natural world. Future research should compare different course curricula. Moreover, it should aim at diverse samples, longitudinal assessments, and investigate reasons for self-selecting in and dropping out of meditation-related studies.
