- Dr. Berry designed a study to examine whether mindfulness training increased interracial helping behavior. People are generally more helpful to those in their own racial group and offer less help to those outside of their racial category. Seventy-five participants were randomized to a 4-day mindfulness training or a 4-day sham meditation training (in which participants believed they were meditating. After the training participants reported to the lab individually. They were met in a waiting room by an experimenter who told them that "the lab was running a little behind schedule, and [the experimenter] needed to make sure the study was ready." They were invited to sit down in one available seat next to two confederates (people involved in the study) who were also seated. After a moment, a confederate came into the waiting room on crutches, and because there were no seats available, leaned up against the wall and signed in discomfort. The measure of interest was whether the participant offered their seat to the person on crutches or not.
