随喜和悲悯是佛教慈悲冥想所致力于培养发展的两种亲社会态度。本研究旨在探究大众对于这两种概念的认识。本研究共招募297名大学生被试，要求被试对随喜和悲悯这两个概念在效价和道德两方面进行评价打分。结果表明，随喜的效价和道德方面均显著高于悲悯，且悲悯在效价方面的均分处于愉悦不愉悦的中点。这一结果有别于西方文化将悲悯理解为积极体验的发现，体现了文化差异。未来研究可以结合多种手段进一步探究慈悲冥想的练习和相关概念的文化差异。

Appreciative joy and compassion are two pro-social attitudes that are encouraged to develop in the Four Immesuarebles Meditations of the Buddhism tradition. This study investigated people’s impressions on these concepts. A total of 296 college students participated in the study and they were asked to rate their emotional valence and morality towards the two concepts. Results showed that the emotional valence and morality are both higher in appreciative joy than in compassion, and the average score of emotional valence of compassion was at the middle point of pleasant-unpleasant measure. Such finding differed from the finding that Western people considered compassion as positive experience, which reflect cultural difference. Future researches may use multiple measures to investigate the cultural differences both in the practice and relevant concepts of the Four Immeasurables Meditation.
