MoveLab members Dr. John Chancey, Dr. Benjamin Heddy, and Diana Meek have published a new study with Dr. Marie Lipmann Investigating the Impact of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on Processes of Conceptual, Emotional, and Attitude Change (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41465-020-00195-z) which is about the impact of mindfulness-based interventions on conceptual, emotional, and attitude change. Through three separate studies, their research explored whether a mindfulness-based intervention could facilitate processes of conceptual change by evoking a heightened state of cognitive engagement with controversial topics in science including Genetically Modified Foods (Study One), Human-Induced Climate Change, (Study Two), and Fluoridated Water (Study Three). They found that the mindfulness interventions used were not potent enough, in terms of length and content, to generate the type of mindful engagement they predicted would occur. Their findings have implications for mindfulness and conceptual change strategies. Congrats MoveLab team!
