So we identified that it is needed to test this programme in wider population - This research is a recent one, published in 2019, and can be considered as a prospective solution for some practical limitations of Mindfulness Meditation interventions. Background A critique of "Brief Mindfulness Meditation Improves Emotion Processing", Wu et al,2019 - The study was on Brief Mindfulness Meditation practices, in an effort to identify an effective, convenient, safe, and standardized option to be used in clinical interventions - Brief Mindfulness Meditation could be effective in improving mood and emotional processing if standardized. - Many positive effects described in literature review including: decreased stress reactivity increased cognitive flexibility modulate emotional responses to negative stimuli decreased intensity of reactions from the autonomic nervous system recovery from affect-related psychopathology Strengths References + Results from this study were significant! unlike previous studies, that did not find a distinct/clear change. + Could this be a possible solution regarding clinical settings?/external settings? Exclusion/inclusion criteria: + avoided the impact of significant life events +avoided demand characteristics The Programme Limitations Brief Mindfulness meditation programme (JW2016 BMM) (15 min a day for 7 consecutive days) in this study that is both standardized and convenient for clinical settings. The time commitment, with most requiring 10-30 minutes daily Shortage of instructors Associated costs Wu, R., Liu, L.-L., Zhu, H., Su, W.-J., Cao, Z.-Y., Zhong, S.-Y., Liu, X.-H., & Jiang, C.-L.
