“…As such, future experimental study designs could also investigate the effects of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program (Kabat-Zinn, 2003) or mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (Segal et al, 2002) on the authenticity levels of participants (Meleo-Meyer, 2021). There is reported evidence that mindfulness-based interventions decrease levels of stress (e.g., Chiesa & Serretti, 2009; Hofmann & Gómez, 2017, Pillay & Eagle, 2021), anxiety (Hoge et al, 2013; John Lothes et al, 2021), and depression (e.g., Kenny, 2021; Kuyken et al, 2008; Teasdale et al, 2000) and increase levels of well-being (e.g., Godfrin & van Heeringen, 2010), self-compassion (e.g., Ondrejková et al, 2020), and psychological adjustment (Molefi-Youri, 2019). Along these lines, future qualitative research could include in-depth interviews or focus-group studies with the participants of mindfulness trainings to gauge the level of authenticity experienced.…”
