Summary

This clinical trial seeks to uncover the mechanisms behind the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in reducing emotional distress. Using daily diaries to measure both mediating and outcome variables, the study examines whether these mechanisms precede changes in outcomes. It focuses on the Mindfulness Intervention for Emotional Distress program, which includes four strategies. The current study plans to employ a within-subjects design with daily questionnaires over 63 days, before, during and after the intervention. The aim is to gain insights into how mindfulness interventions work in alleviating emotional distress.

  • Emotional Distress

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

internet-based mindfulness intervention for emotional distress(iMIED）

The iMIED program integrates the rationales and practices from the UP and MBIs. Formal mindfulness exercises (e.g., body scan, mindful breathing, and mindful stretching) and informal mindfulness practices (e.g., mindful tooth brushing) were adapted from MBIs. In addition, the iMIED program selected several important tasks from the UP, like practicing tolerating uncomfortable feelings by interoceptive exposure practices (e.g., rapid breathing), identifying avoidant behaviors and emotion-driven behaviors and reducing them step by step, identifying common maladaptive automatic thoughts (e.g., overestimating probability and catastrophizing), and using the above strategies in daily life by completing challenging tasks. In total, it took about 30 min per day to finish all the tasks. The program lasted for 49 days.
