Breathing

59.9K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Regular exercise and meditation serve as essential tools in managing stress and promoting physical and mental well-being.
The Role of Exercise in Stress Management
Regular physical activity is essential for reducing stress and promoting cardiovascular health. Exercise strengthens the heart, enhances blood flow, keeps blood vessels flexible, and helps lower blood pressure, all of which reduce the body's stress response. Research shows that adults who exercise regularly have nearly half the...

Steps in the Modeling Process

261
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Mindfulness Studies

Background:

  • Mindfulness practice is linked to stress reduction and improved learning outcomes.
  • Existing research on mindfulness in education primarily focuses on student populations, with limited studies in direct university course implementation.
  • The feasibility and immediate impact of brief, lecturer-guided mindfulness exercises in university settings remain under-explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of integrating brief mindfulness exercises into regular university courses.
  • To assess the immediate effects of these exercises on students' mental states, including stress, presence, motivation, and mood.
  • To explore the impact of leading mindfulness exercises on lecturers' own experiences.

Main Methods:

  • A preregistered, multicenter study employing an ABAB observational design across 19 university courses in Germany.
  • Inclusion of 325 students at baseline and 101 at post-measurement, with 14 lecturers facilitating the intervention.
  • Comparison between courses with brief, lecturer-guided mindfulness exercises (intervention) and those without (control), with weekly assessments of student and lecturer mental states.

Main Results:

  • Students in the intervention group reported significantly lower stress levels and higher presence compared to the control group.
  • The mindfulness exercises were associated with increased student motivation and improved mood, with effects sustained throughout course sessions.
  • Lecturers also experienced positive outcomes from instructing mindfulness exercises, indicating a dual benefit.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing brief, lecturer-guided mindfulness exercises in university courses is a feasible pedagogical strategy.
  • These exercises yield immediate positive effects on students' psychological well-being, including reduced stress and enhanced motivation.
  • The practice benefits both students and lecturers, suggesting a valuable addition to the university learning environment.
