Turning the tide: A randomized controlled trial of a brief digital mindfulness intervention to reduce immediate and delayed negative interpretation bias.

A randomized controlled trial found that a brief digital mindfulness intervention reduced immediate and delayed negative interpretation bias compared to a control condition. Participants who completed the mindfulness exercise showed less negative bias in interpreting ambiguous scenarios both right after the intervention and at a later assessment, suggesting that even short digital mindfulness training can have lasting effects on cognitive biases associated with emotional vulnerability.
