Decreased Symptoms of Depression After Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: Potential Moderating Effects of Religiosity, Spirituality, Trait Mindfulness, Sex, and Age
Overview
This study examines whether religiosity, spirituality, trait mindfulness, sex, and age moderate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in reducing depressive symptoms among 322 adults. The results indicate that while MBSR significantly reduced depressive symptoms across all subgroups, individual differences in these factors did not significantly alter the degree of improvement. However, changes in spirituality and mindfulness were found to uniquely explain a portion of the variance in post-treatment symptom levels.
