Abstract Recent efforts to refine the definition of mindfulness have aimed to improve conceptual clarity and psychometric coherence within psychological science. Chems-Maarif et al. (2025) contributed to this aim by proposing a definition centered on present-centred bare awareness across experiential domains, accompanied by an equanimous attitude. This commentary examines the implications of...

Creativity is a cornerstone of adaptive problem-solving and innovation, yet its neural basis remains insufficiently understood in real-world entrepreneurial contexts. This randomized controlled study investigated the influence of Guided Moving Meditation (GMM) on creative cognition and neural coordination in adult agri-entrepreneurs. Fifty-four right-handed male agri-entrepreneurs (25-45 years)...
Objective Students in higher education (HE) increasingly experience challenging concerns from stress to anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) became a popular strategy to help students cope with these. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy, scalability and sustainability of various MBIs implemented in HE to identify strengths, limitations and possible...
The objective of this study was to develop a scale on mindfulness applicable to adults from different demographic and cultural backgrounds. This study employed a multi-stage validation process, starting from item creation to standardization. Initially, 50 items were created based on the theoretical framework of mindfulness. A panel of 20 psychology experts used the Delphi method to rate these...
This review synthesizes work on fear of negative evaluation (FNE), thought suppression, and the possible moderating role of mindfulness. FNE is a social-cognitive vulnerability marked by worry over others' judgment, rejection, or devaluation. Suppression, in turn, refers to deliberate efforts to exclude unwanted cognitive content from awareness. Recent work has tied evaluative fear to...
Acute stress impairs attention and procedural performance in high-acuity environments. Whether brief mindfulness-based interventions are feasible and affect performance in intensive care unit (ICU) simulation training is unknown. To evaluate the feasibility of a brief mindfulness-based intervention before simulated ultrasound-guided central venous access device (CVAD) insertion. Single-centre...
Mental fatigue (MF) negatively affects athletes’ performance, particularly in basketball, where decision-making and technical skills are crucial. This study aims to examine whether a 30-min short-term audio mindfulness intervention could mitigate MF-induced decline in basketball technical performance. This study employed the cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) design. A total of 54 male...
Introduction Childhood abuse has a significant impact on adulthood mental health. Many children cope with the threat of abuse through avoidant strategies; however, this adaptation may contribute to the development of depersonalization symptoms and dissociative disorders. In contrast, the development of trait mindfulness, the tendency to monitor present-moment experience from an accepting...
Abstract Objectives School-based mindfulness programs (SBMPs) are increasingly implemented to support adolescent mental health, yet evidence for their effectiveness remains mixed. Recent research suggests that average effects may obscure meaningful variability in outcomes across individuals. The present study aimed to examine both the overall effectiveness of a 6-week SBMP and the role of...
Despite the rapid global implementation of school-based mindfulness trainings (SBMTs), empirical findings regarding their effectiveness in children and adolescents remain inconsistent. Large-scale trials and recent meta-analyses have challenged early optimism, raising critical questions about for whom, under what conditions, and through which mechanisms SBMTs may be beneficial. This paper...
