| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a mechanism to conduct Loving-kindness meditation (LKM) on a website and tested its effectiveness. In Study 1, we conducted a 3-week intervention with university students and found that self-competition was increased and has good usability. Study 2 found that LKM combined with compassion-related cognitive-behavioral therapy was associated with less depressive symptoms than the group that received a return-to-work program. In Study 3, a 6-week web intervention revealed a treatment mechanism that included increased self-compassion and increased awareness as the sessions progressed.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
LKMによるうつ症状の軽減効果は非常に高いことが報告されている（Hoffmann et al., 2015）。しかし，本邦ではその有効性の検証が乏しく，実臨床で用いられることも少ない。本研究でLKMをウェブで実施できる仕組みを開発したため，インターネットさえつながればどこでもLKMに触れることができる。またメタ分析でLKMの効果が示される一方で，その作用機序は明確ではなかった。本研究では，ｍ瞑想を終えるごとにアンケートに回答してもらうことにより，LKMの治療プロセスの一部を解明した。
