A randomised active-controlled trial to examine the effects of an online mindfulness intervention on executive control critical thinking and key thinking dispositions in a university student sample

摘要

BackgroundArguments for including mindfulness instruction in higher education have included claims about the benefits of mindfulness practice for critical thinking. While there is theoretical support for this claim, empirical support is limited. The aim of this study was to test this claim by investigating the effects of an online mindfulness intervention on executive function, critical thinking skills and associated thinking dispositions.
