Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review of 24 studies suggests that school-based mindfulness programs can positively impact students' cognitive performance and resilience to stress, but the overall effects are small and vary across different studies.
  • There is a lot of variability in how these programs are implemented, the types of exercises used, and the methods for measuring outcomes, which makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions.
  • Since the field is still developing, the researchers recommend more carefully designed studies in the future to better understand how mindfulness interventions work in school settings.]

@minzlicht Just grabbed one from https://t.co/ZzHyxuvXQW I don't claim yet that it's representative of the broader literature or that I know the adjusted effect size, but it looks more worrisome than considered.

@CandaceLapan Sorry for the delay....here are a few. Starting with 2014 and 2015, when the available studies weren't as good. But these meta-analyses are still pretty good: https://t.co/Wknyf6p8JJ https://t.co/QtLcYBxkgw
