Summary
A pilot study examined whether mindfulness-based training enhances positive emotion and cognitive ability in a Chinese non-clinical population. The intervention led to significant improvements in positive affect and certain cognitive functions, including working memory and attentional control, compared to a control group. The findings suggest that mindfulness training may benefit psychological well-being and cognitive performance in healthy adults, though further research with larger samples is needed to confirm these effects.
