Summary

This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness training (MT) on cognitive and psychological factors when incorporated to the duty-day schedule of servicemembers (via proctored mindfulness practice). Based on prior literature, it can be hypothesized that the benefits of MT on measures of attention, working memory, and psychological well-being will be greater for servicemembers who engage in proctored mindfulness practice and receive duty-day support compared to servicemembers who practice independently, on their own time, with no structured duty day support.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

MBAT with proctored practice

The training program is known as Mindfulness-Based Attention Training, or MBAT. The MBAT program is based on the principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, but contextualized for military personnel using themes relevant to military life. The training content is comprised four central themes: concentration, body awareness, open monitoring, and compassion. Participants will have proctored practice and complete the assigned, out-of-class mindfulness exercises during the duty day as party of their physical training.

BEHAVIORAL

MBAT with non-proctored practice

The training program is known as Mindfulness-Based Attention Training, or MBAT. The MBAT program is based on the principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, but contextualized for military personnel using themes relevant to military life. The training content is comprised four central themes: concentration, body awareness, open monitoring, and compassion.Participants will not have proctored practice and will complete the assigned, out-of-class mindfulness exercises on their own.
