- 소개/요약Mindfulness describes a state of mind characterized by paying attention to the present moment while maintaining a non-judgmental and accepting attitude. Cognitive models postulate that practicing mindfulness improves attentional and executive control and such beneficial effects are partially confirmed by empirical studies. However, the dose-response relation between mindfulness and improvements in cognitive control is less understood. It has been argued that initial phases of the practice produce unspecific outcomes, which may also be attainable by induced relaxation. Therefore, this dissertation examined the effects of short mindfulness trainings of varying duration and frequency on attentional control (alerting, orienting and executive attention; Study 1) and executive functions (updating, inhibition and task switching; Study 1 & 2) with separate reaction-time tasks. In Study 3, it was investigated if improvements in cognitive control following short mindfulness trainings transfer to more complex behavioral control, namely the suppression of stereotype-biased behavior. Across three studies, mindfulness (breathing meditation) was contrasted with relaxation (progressive muscle relaxation) to investigate whether short mindfulness trainings produce specific effects or whether an initial underlying mechanism is state relaxation. Podcast listening was utilized as a passive control condition to control for effects of repeated testing.
