Following a decades-long decline in psychedelic research resulting from social, political, and legislative factors, there has been greatly renewed interest in these compounds' ability to treat psychiatric disorders.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about whether brief mindfulness ecological momentary interventions (MEMI) yield clinically beneficial effects. This gap exists despite the rapid growth of smartphone mindfulness applications. Specifically, no prior brief MEMI has targeted generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Moreover, although theories propose that MEMI can boost executive functioning (EF), they have...

A recent meta-analysis claimed decreasing prospective effects of acting with awareness and non-reacting, two facets of dispositional mindfulness, on subsequent anxiety and depressive symptoms. However, the meta-analytic cross-lagged effects were estimated while adjusting for a prior measurement of the outcome variable and it is known that such adjusted cross-lagged effects may be spurious due...

This study investigates if mindfulness, voluntary simplicity lifestyle, and media exposure predict measures of body image (i.e., weight and non-weight appearance anxiety) among a community sample of midlife women (N = 391). Hierarchical regression analysis that...
