Abstract Concerns about the health impacts of online activities, such as gaming and social media, have led to the development of psychological interventions targeting problematic technology use. The efficacy of these interventions is typically assessed using quantitative metrics, such as decreased screentime and reductions in behavioural addiction or mood disorder symptomatology. However, few...
Objectives: Extant literature suggests that dispositional mindfulness may reduce the impact perceived stress has on the severity of suicidal ideation (SI). Only one study has analyzed this question but did so with a cross-sectional design in a sample of undergraduate women. Methods: This study analyzed the potential moderating role of dispositional mindfulness on the relation between perceived...
Digital mindfulness-based interventions (d-MBIs) have garnered significant research interest in recent years due to their psychological benefits. However, little is known about their impact on prosocial behaviors. This study investigates how d-MBIs impact prosocial behaviors where time spent is money, with Chinese adolescents as the subjects, through an online charity task (www.freerice.com)....
Three findings motivated this study. First, "decision to shoot" research has provided robust evidence of visual racial bias in police officers and the US population (Payne & Correll, 2020). In threat detection experiments, patterns of hit rates, false alarm rates, and reaction times show that typical participants "shoot" an armed target more frequently and quickly when that visual target is...

Objectives: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are highly prevalent in individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and are strongly linked to accelerated cognitive decline and dementia onset. While mindfulness-based interventions have shown promise in improving psychological well-being in clinical and community settings, their efficacy for individuals...
There is emerging evidence for the use of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) to improve health outcomes in the context of stroke rehabilitation. This scoping review identified recently available evidence and possible research gaps regarding how MBIs affect psychological and physical rehabilitation outcomes in individuals poststroke. Electronic searches were performed using the four major...
The training of the present work was designed based on the study by Demarzo and colleagues (2017), in which a four-week mindfulness-based intervention showed a similar effectiveness as the eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction training. A sample of 120 participants was divided into an experimental group (n=80) and a control group (n=40) which filled out questionnaires about their...
Limited studies exist combining mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and exercise in a pain management programme (PMP), with none thus far delivering a combined intervention as an online PMP. This study aimed to explore the acceptability and feasibility of a combined MBSR and exercise online PMP for adults with chronic pain and to examine the feasibility of conducting a randomized...

Abstract Objectives Pilot studies have demonstrated the preliminary effectiveness and acceptability of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) with Black Americans. However, qualitative evidence suggests that some participants perceive discordance between mindfulness and religion/spirituality. This presents a potentially significant barrier to MBI engagement given the centrality of...
Abstract Objectives Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been successfully applied to persons with dementia (PwD) and their caregivers and may yield beneficial effects on depression and quality of life. However, due to inconsistent results, it may be beneficial to re-examine mindfulness in PwD cross-sectionally to identify further potential therapeutic target variables. Rumination, the...
