Abstract:
Mindfulness training (MT) has shown promise in improving psychological health among college students, yet has rarely been evaluated as an addition to the college academic curriculum. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of a first-year MT seminar offered to residential students at a selective private university, evaluating its impact on psychological and cognitive functioning, in relationship to a comparable positive psychology seminar. The results suggest the potential for first-year programs that promote student well-being.
