Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this research is to find effective ways of well-being promotion in higher education settings. A unique mindfulness training was developed that includes cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual components. The training is being delivered during class-time of the following courses: Personal Development and College Success, Understanding Health Behavior, and Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. The objective of the study is to explore the training in regard to dosage effects and the incremental effect of spirituality. While the proximal targets of the intervention are well-being and stress, the ultimate targets are grades and persistence in college.

The hypotheses to be tested are:

* Mindfulness training will increase the well-being and decrease the stress, anxiety and depression symptomology of the participants.
* Mindfulness training will increase the functioning of the participants measured through GPA and hours spent in community engagement.
* The "mindfulness training with spiritual components" will have a greater impact than the "mindfulness only training" on well-being.

The study is designed as an experimental longitudinal study using a 2 X 3 factorial repeated measures design. The 2 level factor is mindfulness and mindfulness plus spirituality. The 3 level factor is the dose of the intervention (i.e., control, one class a week, and two classes a week).
