Summary

This research aims to adopt a complex systems perspective to thoroughly examine the impact of online mindfulness interventions on changes in emotional distress, with a particular focus on the mechanisms of action. Through a daily diary study design, the study seeks to reveal the complexity and dynamic characteristics of emotional changes and the underlying mechanisms(i.e. distress tolerance, experiential avoidance, cognition flexibility, and life engagement) throughout the intervention process. This research will enrich the theoretical framework of online mental health intervention and provide empirical evidence for optimizing online intervention strategies.
