OBJECTIVES: This study tested whether in-person Contemplative Dyad Meditation (CDM) can help young adults connect and improve well-being. In CDM, two individuals take turns sharing present-moment experiences while the other listens non-judgmentally. CDM was compared to an active social comparison condition, Fast Friends (FF), and a no-intervention group (NI).METHODS: This preregistered,...

Introspective research into subjective experiences of meditation is constrained by an inability to document meditative experiences in a manner that addresses their irreducible qualities. Meditators' integration attempts are negatively affected due to this methodological gap. Thus, more responsive documentation methods need to be developed within introspective research. This paper theorizes that...

Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity. The most common management tool, stimulant medication, shows limited efficacy in youth due to side effects, stigma, and noncompliance. The current quasi-experimental study examines the influence of a behavioural, mindfulness-based treatment program...

Virtual Reality (VR) could be useful to overcome imagery and somatosensory difficulties of compassion-based meditations given that it helps generate empathy by facilitating the possibility of putting oneself into the mind of others. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an embodied-VR system in generating a compassionate response and increasing the quality and...

UNSTRUCTURED: Introduction: Chronic cancer-related pain (CRP) has a significant negative impact on quality of life. Mindfulness is hypothesized to mitigate chronic CRP by regulating both physical and emotional resistance to pain. In recent years, there has been an interest in the use of virtual reality (VR) to deliver mindfulness meditation. Virtual reality provides an immersive and engaging...

The purpose of the DNP project was to determine if meditation impacted test anxiety in associate degree nursing (ADN) students. Nursing students are more prone to experience test anxiety compared to other college students. A quantitative, quasi-experimental single group pretest/posttest design was implemented to assess the effects of meditation between tests two and three in fundamental nursing...

Meta-analyses indicate that mindfulness meditation is efficacious for chronic and acute pain, but most available studies lack active control comparisons. This raises the possibility that placebo-related processes may account, at least in part, for mindfulness effects. The objective of this study was to develop a closely matched sham mindfulness condition to establish whether placebo effects...

Abstract Interoceptive attention to internal sensory signals is fundamental to mindfulness. In an attention-to-breathing task in 161 adults, we found that consistency of interoceptive attention significantly correlated with performance efficiency across several exteroceptive cognitive domain tasks. EEG source mapping within subjects showed that on low-consistency or distracted trials there was...
