Meditation and happiness: Mindfulness and self-compassion may mediate the meditation–happiness relationship (2016, methodology): “Furthermore, other methodological aspects of our study differ from Baer et al. (2012), as a larger sample of participants is used in this study, and the meditation variable we used was meditation frequency versus meditation experience in Baer et al. (2012).”
Putting the ‘app’ in Happiness: A Randomised Controlled Trial of a Smartphone-Based Mindfulness Intervention to Enhance Wellbeing (2016, background): “By researching long-term meditators and delivering mindfulness-based training to novice meditators, scientists are building a deeper understanding of the multiple pathways influenced by the practice, that lead to greater psychological health (Baer et al. 2012; Brown et al. 2007).”
Integrating Mindfulness into Positive Psychology: a Randomised Controlled Trial of an Online Positive Mindfulness Program (2016, background): “A large body of research has demonstrated that mindfulness training has positive effects (e.g. Baer et al. 2012; Ivtzan and Lomas 2016), but the number of mindfulness programs explicitly aimed at positive psychological changes and increased well-being is small (Lindsay and Creswell 2015).”
The Mediating Effects of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion on Trait Anxiety (2014, background): “Recent research suggests that mindfulness and selfcompassion mediate one another in mindfulness practice; however, the change process and relationship between these constructs is not clearly understood (Baer et al. 2012; Van Dam et al. 2011).”
Relating Mindfulness, Heartfulness, and Psychological Well-Being: the Role of Self-Compassion and Gratitude (2018, background): “Our findings corroborate the literature showing that mindfulness is associated with greater self-compassion and gratitude (e.g. Baer et al. 2012), and shed light on the heart-related mechanisms mediating the link between mindfulness and the dimensions of psychological well-being.”
Mindfulness, Self-compassion, Self-efficacy, and Gender as Predictors of Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Well-being (2015, background): “In addition, Baer et al. (2012) reported that describing and the mindfulness composite of non-judging/non-reactivity and the self-compassion composite of common humanity/mindfulness contributed to predicting well-being.”
Self-Compassion and Well-Being in Parents of Children with Autism (2014, background): “Research with the general population has found that self-compassion is a stronger negative predictor of anxiety, worry, and depression and a stronger positive predictor of quality of life and overall psychological wellbeing (Baer et al. 2012; Van Dam et al. 2011).”
