Abstract
Participants in online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) wrote reflections in the final online program module. We calculated their use of mindfulness language and other language-derived metrics. Mindfulness language demonstrated some indication of convergent validity, but no language-derived metric was associated with self-reported mindfulness at post-intervention or depression-free days during follow-up.
