Abstract

The Mindfulness to Meaning Theory (MMT) suggests that mindfulness promotes a sense of meaning in the presence of adversity. Findings from this project supported MMT, such that higher trait mindfulness, assessed before COVID-19, prospectively predicted higher meaning and meaning salience during the early months of COVID-19 among healthy adults.
