(2025), \"The mindful scientist: How meditation could support ethical scientific practice,\" and offers an implementation-focused perspective on the role of meditation-based ethical development interventions (MBEDs) within contemporary academic systems. We begin by acknowledging the importance of the ethical challenges facing academia and the potential utility of the authors' proposal to apply contemplative practices to support ethical scientific conduct. We then raise two concerns. First, we argue that individual-level interventions such as MBEDs may have limited capacity to address unethical behavior that is shaped by structural factors, including academic incentive systems. Second, we highlight a motivational trade-off that MBEDs are likely to encounter. On the one hand, voluntary participation risks self-selection and ceiling effects. On the other hand, mandatory implementation may lead to low engagement, as observed in other universal mindfulness-based interventions. For similar reasons, we question the reliance on meditation practice as the primary mechanism of ethical cultivation, given evidence that sustained benefits require ongoing engagement that may be unrealistic in universal or mandatory contexts. We conclude by proposing an integrated model for ethics in academia, in which MBEDs are embedded within ethical institutional initiatives-such as holistic career assessment, open science practices, and incentives for replication and methodological rigor-and supplemented with non-meditative contemplative methods. We argue that such integration is necessary for contemplative ethics initiatives to achieve durable organizational- and community-level impact.</p>","PeriodicalId":18523,"journal":{"name":"Mindfulness","volume":"17 ","pages":"1892-1898"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13233037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148163736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
