Abstract
Mindfulness training applications for mobile devices are increasing in number and use, but little is known on their effectiveness. Our study (N = 107) is the first to examine the effect of a brief mobile-based mindfulness intervention on the emotional reactions to anticipatory social stress. Results show that the intervention is effective in weakening the increase of negative affect related to anticipatory stress, mostly in men. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
