The Effects of Mindfulness Training on School Staff

October 1, 2015 updated by: University of Wisconsin, Madison

The Effects of Mindfulness Training on School Staff Emotions, Attention, and Stress

The primary research objective is to investigate psychological, behavioral, and physiological changes in school staff as a result of undergoing meditation and stress reduction training. Specifically, we hypothesize that school staff undergoing meditation and stress reduction training will show decreased emotional distress on self-report measures, increased sustained attention on a behavioral task, and decreased stress levels as indexed by salivary cortisol.
