Abstract
The potential for mindfulness interventions to reduce anxiety in college students has been previously demonstrated. Interventions in experimental settings are typically over weeks or months. We're interested in the potential benefit of a one-time short intervention immediately before a presentation task to reduce students' experience of anxiety surrounding public speaking.
