Abstract in brief

  • This study found that children with higher trait mindfulness, or their natural tendency to be open and nonjudgmental about experiences, experienced less stress, anxiety, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Children who scored high on mindfulness were better able to handle the stress caused by pandemic-related changes, showing no link between how much COVID-19 impacted their lives and their negative emotions.
  • The results suggest that fostering mindfulness could help improve emotional resilience in children during stressful events like a pandemic, but more research is needed to understand exactly how mindfulness provides this support.]
