What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore how individual differences affect the outcomes of mindfulness meditation, particularly focusing on its benefits and potential harms. Participants enrolled in a Mindfulness-Based Intervention will complete self-report questionnaires at various stages of the program to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression, quality of life, and wellbeing. The study will also investigate the mechanisms through which mindfulness meditation may influence mental health, as well as how factors like trauma symptoms, dissociation, and negative thinking may impact these effects.
