简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if mindfulness meditation can improve closure and emotion towards unresolved memories in an undergraduate student population. This will be tested through a brief, novel intervention called Mindful Recollection, where participants transition immediately from mindfulness meditation into the recollection of an unresolved memory. The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the mechanisms of change underlying Mindful Recollection. Overall then, the main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Does mindful recollection reduce negative emotions associated with unresolved event memories?
- Can increases in acceptance, decentering, and reappraisal account for the observed effects of mindful recollection on negative emotion?
- Does mindful recollection facilitate closure towards unresolved event memories?
- Can increases in acceptance, decentering, and reappraisal account for the observed effects of mindful recollection on closure?
Researchers will compare the Mindful Recollection intervention to a mind-wandering control task to see if mindfulness meditation uniquely produces positive changes in emotion and closure above and beyond placebo. Mindful Recollection will involve a 13-minute audio-guided mindfulness meditation followed immediately by 2 minutes of memory recollection. The control task will involve 13-minutes of audio-guided mind-wandering followed immediately by 2 minutes of memory recollection.
Participants will:
- Complete pretest measures of emotion and closure towards an unresolved event memory.
- Engage in either the Mindful Recollection intervention or the placebo control task after a 24-72 hour delay.
- Complete post-test measures of emotion and closure towards the same unresolved event memory.

结局指标
主要结局
Pre- to Post-Test Changes in Psychological Closure using the Closure and Resolution Scale (CRS)
时间窗: Baseline (24-72 hours prior to the intervention) and post-test (immediately after intervention)
Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = Completely disagree, 7 = Completely agree), with higher scores reflecting greater levels of closure and resolution.
Pre- to Post-Test Changes in Negative Emotion using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)
时间窗: Baseline (24-72 hours prior to the intervention) and post-test (immediately after intervention)
Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Not at all, 5 = Extremely), with higher scores reflecting a stronger endorsement of that emotional experience.
次要结局
- Experiential Acceptance Towards Thoughts and Emotions(Immediately after the intervention (post-test))
- Reappraisal(Immediately after the intervention (post-test))
- State Decentering(Immediately after the intervention (post-test))
