Mind-Subtraction Meditation: Potential Effects on Cognitive Flexibility and Depression Symptomatology

Poster Session III - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Mindfulness and Meditation

Abstract: We investigate the effects of a 6-month Mind-Subtraction Meditation (MSM) intervention on cognitive flexibility and its relationship with depressive symptoms compared to Mindfulness Meditation. MSM is expected to show greater improvements in cognitive flexibility due to direct engagement with cognitive mechanisms. Both interventions are expected to similarly reduce depressive symptoms.
