Mindfulness in Motion (MIM): An Onsite Mindfulness Based Intervention (MBI) for Chronically High Stress Work Environments to Increase Resiliency and Work Engagement

24.4K
The Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) protocol offers a pragmatic Mindfulness Based Intervention (MBI) on-site, for persons working in chronically high-stress work environments that significantly increases resiliency and work engagement. The protocol has proven feasible, beneficial, and is easily adaptable to other high-stress...

Heart and Mind Share Metrics

Understanding how consumers feel and think about a brand is essential for its success. Emotional responses, like the connection a customer feels to a favorite clothing brand, can drive loyalty and long-term engagement. On the other hand, cognitive responses, such as recognizing the specific benefits of a particular insurance policy, help reinforce trust and informed decision-making.
For example, awareness measures how many people recognize a brand, such as a new snack brand gaining popularity...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Decision Making
  • Probability Theory

Background:

  • Individuals often sample possibilities when making predictions or choices.
  • The default process of thought sampling, without explicit goals, is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the underlying structure of spontaneously sampled thoughts.
  • To determine if default thought processes follow a predictable pattern.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments were conducted to analyze the nature of default thought sampling.
  • Experiment 1 examined everyday behaviors and events.
  • Experiments 2 and 3 used manipulated contexts and a visual domain, respectively, analyzing probability distributions.

Main Results:

  • Default thoughts are sampled from a probability distribution combining likelihood and desirability.
  • Quantities for everyday events reflect both average and ideal values.
  • In manipulated contexts, sampled numbers mathematically integrated statistical and prescriptive distributions.

Conclusions:

  • Spontaneous thought generation is structured, blending what is probable with what is perceived as good.
  • Findings offer insights into the cognitive processes underlying conscious thought.
  • This suggests a potential value in considering both likelihood and desirability in default thinking.
