Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This pilot study investigates whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) reduces social anxiety symptoms through improvements in positive affect among adults with anxiety disorders. The open-label trial involved 22 participants, primarily diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and/or social anxiety disorder, who completed an 8-week MBCT intervention. Results indicated that increases in positive affect, rather than decreases in negative affect, predicted reductions in social anxiety symptoms. The authors note the findings are exploratory due to the small sample size and uncontrolled design.
