摘要

Brief digital mindfulness (BMT) trainings are emerging as accessible treatments for psychosocial distress, integrating the benefits of traditional mindfulness-based therapies with improved scalability. One such approach is the Single Session training, a form of Single Session Interventions (SSI), designed to deliver therapeutic benefit in a single sitting. This study tested the feasibility and initial efficacy of a novel, single-session digital mindfulness training for reducing anxiety and improving mood in college students, a population with high distress and limited treatment access, and explored individual differences, including attentional control (AC) and emotional attentional control (eAC), as potential moderators of training response. Undergraduate participants (N = 135; ages 18–42; 23% Hispanic, 34.8% Asian, 34.8% White, 17.0% Black/African American) were randomly assigned to a 25-minute mindfulness-based audio training (BMT) or a nature-based control condition, completed remotely. Participants self-reported AC, eAC, state anxiety, positive mood, and negative mood. The BMT group reported significantly lower anxiety and negative mood, and higher positive mood post-training. eAC moderated the effect on positive mood, with greater benefits observed in individuals with low to moderate control. Findings support the feasibility of this single-session, web-based mindfulness training and highlights the importance of assessing individual differences that might influence training response.
