Commonly conducted mindfulness-based trainings such as Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) highlight training in two key forms of meditation: focused attention (FA) open monitoring (OM). Largely unknown is what each these mindfulness practices contributes to emotional other important outcomes. This dismantling trial compared the effects structurally equivalent MBCT, FA, OM on neural subjective markers reactivity regulation among community adults, with aim...
Meditation is a family of ancient and contemporary contemplative mind-body practices that can modulate psychological processes, awareness, mental states. Over the last 40 years, clinical science has manualised meditation designed various interventions (MIs), have shown therapeutic efficacy for disorders including depression, pain, addiction, anxiety. past decade, neuroimaging examined neuroscientific basis practices, effects, states, outcomes non-clinical populations. However,...
Reactive aggression, a hostile retaliatory response to perceived threat, has been attributed failures in emotion regulation. Interventions for reactive aggression have largely focused on cognitive control training, which target top-down regulation mechanisms inhibit aggressive impulses. Recent theory suggests that mindfulness training (MT) improves via both and bottom-up neural thus proposed as an alternative treatment aggression. Using this framework, the current pilot study examined how MT...
Abstract Emotional appraisals of political stimuli (e.g., videos) have been shown to drive shared neural encoding, which correspond shared, yet divisive, interpretations such stimuli. However, mindfulness practice may entrain a form emotion regulation that de-automatizes social biases, possibly through alteration mechanisms. The present study combined naturalistic neuroimaging paradigm and randomized controlled trial examine the effects short-term training (MT) (n = 35) vs structurally...
Abstract Background Safety precautions and activity restrictions were common in the early, pre-vaccine phases of COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that higher levels participation potentially risky social other activities would be associated with greater life satisfaction perceived meaning life. At same time, prosocial COVID-preventive such as mask wearing should enhance satisfaction. Method assessed impact behaviors on psychological well-being October 2020. A nationally representative...
Abstract This meta-analysis sought to expand upon neurobiological models of mindfulness through investigation inherent brain network connectivity outcomes, indexed via resting state functional (rsFC). We conducted a systematic review and rsFC as an outcome training (MT) relative structurally-equivalent programs, with the hypothesis that MT would increase cross-network between nodes Default Mode Network (DMN), Salience (SN), Frontoparietal Control (FPCN) mechanism internally-oriented...
AbstractMindfulness can produce neuroplastic changes that support adaptive cognitive and emotional functioning. Recently interest in single-exercise mindfulness instruction has grown considerably due to the advent of mobile health technology. Accordingly, current study sought extend neural models by investigating transient states during single-dose exposure focused attention meditation. Specifically, we examined ability a brief induction attenuate intimate partner aggression via intrinsic...
