New Study Finds People Believe in Good Karma for Themselves, Bad Karma for Others
A recent research study has revealed a fascinating psychological bias: while most individuals believe they are destined for good karma, they tend to expect that others will receive the opposite—bad karma. This counterintuitive finding, highlighted in a new article on CNN Health, offers profound insights into how beliefs in cosmic justice impact our perception of ourselves and those around us.
Karma, a concept rooted in Buddhist and Hindu traditions—and widely influential in Thai society—suggests that moral actions determine future consequences. The study’s results underline how this ancient belief manifests in modern attitudes, with significant psychological and social implications for communities shaped by Buddhist sensibilities like Thailand’s.
