| description | ABSTRACT. Mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions are used for a large
area of physical and psychological problems in adult and elderly people, including
anxiety disorders, personality disorders, chronic pain and anger. Recently,
researchers have started to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based
programs on children. The aim of this study is to test the effects of a Mindfulnessbased Program (MBP) on the levels of internalization, externalization and attentionrelated problems of children (41 participants, average age of 8.5 years, SD = 0.4),
as compared to the effects of a standard procedure, i.e., Rational Stories program
for children. The results revealed that the Mindfulness-based Program had higher
effects than the Rational Stories program on the decrease of the attentionrelated problems, while no statistically significant differences were found at
levels of internalizing and externalizing problems (i.e., both programs were
associated with a decrease of the two types of problems). |
