Dispositional mindfulness moderates the association between social value orientation and in-group love and out-group hate
Literature showed that dispositional mindfulness is associated with several benefits, but especially acting with awareness reduces the automatic and habitual behaviors. In this study, we explored the moderating role of acting with awareness, on the relationship between social value orientation and individuals’ in-group-love vs. outgroup-hate. We hypothesized that acting with awareness would reduce the automatic and habitual proclivity of prosocial individuals to prefer in-group love and the tendency of proself individuals to prefer out-group hate.
