Abstract
Mindfulness meditation has been found to influence various important outcomes such as
health, stress, depression, productivity, and altruism. We report evidence from a randomised controlled trial on a previously untested effect of mindfulness: information avoidance. We
find that a relatively short mindfulness treatment (two weeks, 15 minutes a day) is able to
induce a statistically significant reduction in information avoidance – that is, avoiding in formation that may cause worry or regret. Supplementary evidence supports mindfulness’s
effects on emotion regulation as a possible mechanism for the effect. Mehr anzeigen
