Emotion-related constructs engaged by mindfulness-based interventions: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been widely implemented to improve self-regulation behaviors, often by targeting emotion-related constructs to facilitate change. Yet the degree to which MBIs engage specific measures of emotion-related constructs has not been systematically examined.

Methods

Results

Seventy-two studies (N=7,378) were included (MBSR k=47, MBCT k = 21, Modified k
