Journal ArticleDOI
How do mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction improve mental health and wellbeing? A systematic review and meta-analysis of mediation studies
TL;DR: This review identified strong, consistentevidence for cognitive and emotional reactivity, moderate and consistent evidence for mindfulness, rumination, and worry, and preliminary but insufficient evidence for self-compassion and psychological flexibility as mechanisms underlying MBIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is compassion and how can we measure it? A review of definitions and measures
Clara Strauss,Clara Strauss,Billie Lever Taylor,Jenny Gu,Willem Kuyken,Ruth A. Baer,Fergal W. Jones,Kate Cavanagh +7 more
TL;DR: A definition of compassion is proposed and a systematic review of self- and observer-rated measures of this construct is offered and if supported, the development of a measure of compassion based on this operational definition is developed which demonstrates adequate psychometric properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining the factor structure of the 39-item and 15-item versions of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire before and after mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for people with recurrent depression.
Jenny Gu,Clara Strauss,Catherine Crane,Thorsten Barnhofer,Anke Karl,Kate Cavanagh,Willem Kuyken +6 more
TL;DR: Current findings support the use of the FFMQ-15 as an alternative measure in research where briefer forms are needed and suggest excluding the Observing subscale from comparisons of total scale/subscale scores before and after mindfulness interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Psychometric Properties of the Sussex-Oxford Compassion Scales (SOCS):
TL;DR: The psychometric properties of new self-report measures of compassion for others and for the self, the 20-item Sussex-Oxford Compassion for Others Scale (SOCS-O) and 20- item SOCS-S, showed adequate internal consistency, interpretability, floor/ceiling effects, and convergent and discriminant validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomised Controlled Trial of a Brief Online Mindfulness-Based Intervention in a Non-clinical Population: Replication and Extension.
Kate Cavanagh,Alasdair Churchard,Puffin O’Hanlon,Thomas Mundy,Phoebe Votolato,Fergal W. Jones,Jenny Gu,Clara Strauss,Clara Strauss +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided in support of the feasibility and effectiveness of brief, self-guided MBIs in a non-clinical population and suggests that reduced perseverative thinking may be a mechanism of change.
