Summary

This study investigates the efficacy of MBSR training in alleviating stress-related symptoms among individuals with high sensory processing sensitivity. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the MBSR group or the control group.

The primary hypothesis is that participants in the MBSR group, relative to control group, will have lower depression-anxiety-stress scores post-intervention, after controlling for baseline scores. The secondary hypothesis is that in the MBSR group, relative to control group, other mental health, physical health and well-being outcomes, as well as potential mindfulness mechanisms will also improve, after controlling for baseline scores.
