Project title: A large, multisite test of self-administered mindfulness.

 

Hello,


We are conducting research testing different mindfulness exercises. The research is open to everyone who is 18 or older, fluent in English and who did not meditate in the last 6 months. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE PART IF you currently are or have been diagnosed with a mood disorder (for example: Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Mood Disorder, etc.) and/or if you have ever experienced psychosis episode(s).

 

If you agree to take part, you will be asked to complete a 15-minute exercise that may or may not involve mindfulness meditation, then complete a questionnaire about how you feel. You will be awarded a $10.00 Amazon Gift Card for participating in the study.

 

This research has been initiated by Alessandro Sparacio (PhD student), supervised by Dr. Gabriela Jiga-Boy (Swansea University), Dr. Hans IJzerman (Université Grenoble Alpes) and Dr. Ivan Ropovik (Charles University). The data collection is being conducted by Dr. Michael Baranski and Hannah Burgess (California University of Pennsylvania).

 

If you are interested in participating in this study or would like further information, please contact Hannah Burgess at bur7752@calu.edu.

 

This research has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee, School of Psychology, Swansea University and by California University of Pennsylvania IRB.
