Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness Training

This stress reduction training will last 14 days and teach participants skills in concentration, monitoring of present-moment bodily experience, and acceptance of experience. Participants are encouraged to "mentally welcome" all physical and emotional experience. Each day will consist of approximately 25 to 30 minutes of training. A full explanation of the mindfulness training compared to the reappraisal training could interfere with study blinding procedures. A complete description can be provided after data collection is complete.

BEHAVIORAL

Reappraisal Training

This stress reduction training will last 14-days. Each day consists of 25 to 30 minutes of daily practice in "Coping control." Participants are encouraged to reframe and reappraise life events, both past and present, and encouraged to solve personal problems through active change. A full explanation of the reappraisal stress reduction program compared to the mindfulness program could interfere with study blinding procedures. A complete description can be provided after data collection is complete.
