Abstract This study investigated the potential moderating effects of gender in online mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on mental health problems in healthy populations. Specifically, it explored gender differences in emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility and the mechanisms underlying the influence of MBIs on mental health problems. Data were obtained from randomized controlled...

Divergent thinking (DT) and convergent thinking (CT) are typically considered the two faces of creativity and are associated to different neuro-functional networks. Previous research underlined that brain stimulation and meditation can modulate the creative process. However, their effect over DT e CT is still not clear. Purpose: The aim of the present study was to explore if and how tDCS and...

This study investigates the effects of mindfulness meditation on cognitive performance and academic well-being among university students. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments was employed to evaluate the impact of a four-week meditation program. Fifty college students were randomly assigned to either a Meditation Group (n = 25) or a Control Group (n = 25)....
