Personality Predicts Utilization of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction During and Post-Intervention in a Community Sample of Older Adults
Overview
This study examines how Big Five personality traits influence the use of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques among 100 older adults during an 8-week program and at a six-month follow-up. The research indicates that higher levels of openness and agreeableness are associated with greater engagement in MBSR practices, including yoga, meditation, and body scanning. These findings suggest that personality dimensions may help explain individual differences in adherence to mindfulness interventions.
