Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are increasingly used to improve mental well-being.
  • Self-help approaches offer accessible options for community samples.
  • Understanding factors influencing intervention effectiveness is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a 6-week, self-help mindfulness intervention on affective and functioning variables.
  • To explore how baseline mindfulness competencies influence intervention outcomes and perceived benefits.

Main Methods:

  • A 6-week, 20-minutes-a-day self-help mindfulness intervention was implemented.
  • Participants (N=91) were assigned to a mindfulness group (n=47) or a waitlist control group (n=44).
  • Self-report measures assessed anxiety, depression, psychological distress, mindfulness, negative cognition, and experiential avoidance.

Main Results:

  • The mindfulness group showed significant improvements in affective and functioning variables compared to the control group.
  • Effect sizes for improvements ranged from 0.53 to 0.88.
  • Lower baseline mindfulness predicted greater subsequent improvement in mindfulness skills (r = -0.55, p < .001).

Conclusions:

  • Mindfulness practice effectively improved emotional functioning and reduced psychological distress.
  • The intervention demonstrated positive outcomes for affective variables.
  • Individuals with lower initial mindfulness competencies experienced more substantial gains, suggesting a personalized benefit.
