Abstract：
College students experiencing psychological distress have significantly greater negative emotions than students who practice compassionate thinking. We have developed Eight Steps to Great Compassion (ESGC), an innovative brief and no-cost online video training program about how to increase compassion among busy and young adult university students. To examine the effectiveness and benefits of the ESGC, a single-group pre-test-post-test quantitative design with undergraduate university students (N = 92; Mage = 20.39) evaluated its effects. The results from the post-test showed that the ESGC had a significant positive impact on increased feelings of compassion towards oneself, compassion for others, and the sense of personal well-being from the pre-test. The analysis of the PERMA-Profiler subscales also reflected a statistically significant increase in overall well-being and health and a decrease in negative emotions and loneliness. From the Post-Survey Lesson Feedback, 88% of the participants reported significant positive changes in themselves and the way that they live due to the program. These findings appear to show important implications for improving healthy minds and reducing negative emotions among university students.
摘要：
经历心理困扰的大学生比实践同情心思维的学生具有更大的负面情绪。我们已经开发了八个步骤到伟大的同情（ESGC），一个创新的简短和免费的在线视频培训计划，关于如何增加忙碌和年轻的成人大学生的同情心。为了检查ESGC的有效性和益处，与本科生（N=92；Mage=20.39）的单组测试前测试后测试定量设计评估了其效果。后验结果显示,ESGC对增加对自己的同情心有显著的积极影响,同情他人,以及预先测试中的个人幸福感。对PERMA-Profiler分量表的分析还反映了总体幸福感和健康状况的统计学显着增加以及负面情绪和孤独感的减少。从调查后课程反馈来看，88％的参与者报告说，由于该计划，他们自己和生活方式发生了重大积极变化。这些发现似乎对改善大学生的健康思想和减少负面情绪具有重要意义。
