However, how mindfulness interplays with affect to exert its \u0000effect on decision-making remains relatively less explored. The present study examined and \u0000compared the performance of both mindfulness meditators and non-meditators on decisionmaking \u0000tasks under different affective states. A total of 100 participants (50 mindfulness meditators \u0000and 50 non-meditators) responded to the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and \u0000performed the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). Both groups were further divided into positive affect \u0000and negative affect conditions. The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) was used to \u0000induce positive and negative affective states among the participants. The baseline affective state \u0000of the participants was assessed using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). \u0000Independent sample t-tests and a univariate ANOVA were computed to analyze the obtained \u0000data. Results showed that mindfulness meditators scored significantly higher on the total FFMQ \u0000as well as on its different facets. Furthermore, the results revealed a significant main effect of \u0000mindfulness and the affect group on IGT performance. The interaction between mindfulness and \u0000affective conditions was also found to be significant. Mindfulness meditators performed equally \u0000well on IGT under both positive and negative affect conditions, whereas non-meditators \u0000performed better only under positive affect conditions. The findings have practical implications, \u0000as they suggest that mindfulness meditation enhances decision-making by promoting effective \u0000emotion regulation and suppressing impulsive responses during decision-making in different \u0000domains of life.","PeriodicalId":35394,"journal":{"name":"Mind and Society","volume":"115 17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84190621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The symptoms were significantly affecting \u0000her daily life. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy \u0000(CBT) for individuals with social anxiety disorder during pregnancy and involved 12 \u0000sessions of therapy. Therapeutic techniques used for social anxiety disorder include \u0000psychoeducation, systematic desensitization, exposure and response prevention, and \u0000cognitive restructuring. At the end of the therapy, the patient’s symptoms were \u0000significantly reduced, and relapse prevention tactics were taught to help her manage \u0000herself in the future.

For young people, stepping into university represents a \u0000time of transformation. Students experience this phase, encounter a wide variety of \u0000new challenges, and suffer several psychosocial and mental health problems. To address \u0000issues and make an effort to overcome challenges, university students use different \u0000strategies for coping. In this study, challenges were identified through open-ended \u0000questions, and coping strategies were assessed through a brief COPE inventory (Carver, \u00001997). A total of 50 undergraduate students were selected from a state university through \u0000purposeful sampling. Interesting findings showed that there were considerable gender \u0000disparities in terms of coping strategies. Further analysis was done domain-wise by \u0000using the mean, standard deviation, and t-test, and strong gender differences emerged \u0000in five domains: humor, emotional support, venting, instrumental support, and religion. \u0000This study would act as a base to plan interventions in universities for developing \u0000adaptive coping strategies in students.","PeriodicalId":35394,"journal":{"name":"Mind and Society","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89090414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The broadening of positive emotions has been found to help \u0000in the development of long-term resources such as psychological resilience and \u0000flourishing.

PPI results not only in the reduction of depressive symptoms \u0000but also in enhancing wellbeing, happiness, satisfaction in life, and attention. It was \u0000seen that there is a dearth of Indian studies with a clinical population.
