Abstract
The present project tested the relationship between trait mindfulness, its subcomponents, and diurnal cortisol in a sample of individuals with high stress burden. Greater mindful awareness was associated with a flatter cortisol awakening response while greater mindful acceptance was associated with a more robust awakening response and lower evening cortisol.
