Abstract
This study aims to determine if mindfulness meditation can reduce feelings of regret. Participants will first complete brief assessments measuring facets of mindfulness (Baer et al., 2006) and self-compassion (Neff, 2019). They will then recall and rate the intensity of emotions related to a regretful event. Next, participants will receive introductory mindfulness meditation training on-site and instructions for practicing a guided meditation at home 3 times per week for two weeks. In the second lab session, participants will undergo another mindfulness meditation before completing the emotion intensity ratings related to the regretful event again. Comparisons of regret intensity ratings before and after the 2 weeks of mindfulness practice will reveal if increasing mindfulness and self-compassion mitigates regret over past events.
