Prior research on dose–response relationships in mindfulness meditation and MBIs
MBIs have been shown to improve many indices of stress, cognition, and wellbeingTo directly test the “more is better” hypothesis of the dose–response relationship, Strohmaier et alIn another small RCT (N = 77), Berghoff et alTaken together, these findings suggest an uncertain—and potentially counterintuitive—understanding of dose–response relationship. Further, we are unaware of any prior research that has assessed dose–response relationships for a single session of mindfulness meditation. Such an investigation may provide key insights into how to optimize the design of multi-session MBIs.
