简要总结
This project will explore the effect of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training or mindfulness training on behavior and saliva stress hormones in elementary school-age children.
详细描述
This project will explore the effect of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) or mindfulness training (MT) on different aspects of behavior and stress-related biology in elementary school-age children. The program will consist of 12 weeks of CBCT or MT, and various social behavioral assessments will be conducted. Participants will also provide saliva in which concentrations of stress hormones including cortisol and the inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein will be measured.

结局指标
主要结局
Interpersonal behaviors assessed using standardized protocols of social behavior, social cognition, and empathy.
时间窗: 12 weeks
Assessments before and after CBCT or MT interventions will be conducted to see if these practices lead to changes in interpersonal behavior. Participants will be asked to respond to questions related to social behavior in the lab setting, with the Social Circle Task, Mind In The Eyes Task, and the Implicit Association Task.
Concentrations of stress system biomarkers in saliva
时间窗: 12 weeks
Assessments before and after CBCT or MT interventions will be conducted to see if these practices lead to changes in stress system activity, as measured by key biomarkers (cortisol, C-reactive protein) in saliva samples.
