正念训练包括在没有判断或反应的情况下观察思想和感觉，已被证明通过面对面的训练计划(如基于正念的压力减轻(MBSR)和基于正念的认知疗法(MBCT))可以改善心理社会健康的各个方面。人们对智能手机应用等数字培训媒体的有效性知之甚少，这些媒体的受欢迎程度正在迅速上升。在这项研究中，新手冥想者被随机分配到入门正念冥想计划或心理教育有声读物对照组，其中包括正念和冥想概念的入门。这些干预是通过相同的正念应用程序提供的，根据一系列标准进行匹配，并作为福祉计划呈现给参与者。在一组健康成年人中，在每次干预之前和之后立即测量情感、易怒和两种不同的压力成分。虽然两种干预措施都有效地减少了与个人脆弱性相关的压力，但只有正念干预对易怒、情感和外部压力引起的压力有显著的积极影响(在科恩的d = 分别为0.44，0.47，0.45之间)。这些结果表明，短暂的正念训练对心理社交健康的几个方面都有有益的影响，智能手机应用程序是正念训练的有效传播媒介。
Mindfulness training, which involves observing thoughts and feelings without judgment or reaction, has been shown to improve aspects of psychosocial well-being when delivered via in-person training programs such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Less is known about the efficacy of digital training mediums, such as smartphone apps, which are rapidly rising in popularity. In this study, novice meditators were randomly allocated to an introductory mindfulness meditation program or to a psychoeducational audiobook control featuring an introduction to the concepts of mindfulness and meditation. The interventions were delivered via the same mindfulness app, were matched across a range of criteria, and were presented to participants as well-being programs. Affect, irritability, and two distinct components of stress were measured immediately before and after each intervention in a cohort of healthy adults. While both interventions were effective at reducing stress associated with personal vulnerability, only the mindfulness intervention had a significant positive impact on irritability, affect, and stress resulting from external pressure (between group Cohen’s d = 0.44, 0.47, 0.45, respectively). These results suggest that brief mindfulness training has a beneficial impact on several aspects of psychosocial well-being, and that smartphone apps are an effective delivery medium for mindfulness training.
