Mindfulness seems to be a bit better than value refleciton for improving decentering, but both work better than just checking in daily on mood and stress levels.
Really amazing work by Yiyi Wang, please feel free to check it out!
The mindfulness-to-meaning theory suggests that decentering leads to new meanings, a process known as 'reappraisal', but growth in reappraisal was only evident after the 4 week (but not 1 week) intervention.
This study helps validate mindfulness to meaning theory, establishes a dose response boundary on when decentering leads to new meanings (might take closer to a month than a week), and shows positive engagement with chatbots designed to coach participants on mindfulness and value reflection.
Excited to see our first paper on chatbot-led mindfulness training in print at Mindfulness, with recent PhD grad Yiyi Wang!
We examined 1 and 4 week training protocols, comparing mindfulness training against 2 controls.

Wonderful to chat with @annetheresegennari.bsky.social on the #heychangepodcast about embracing uncertainty in considering our sustainable future, it has shaped my own thinking about how we can start to make a difference. www.heychangepodcast.com/episodes/98-...
We found that compared to a 'check-in only' control condition, both mindfulness exercises and more western-style reflection on core values reduced sstress over time. This effect was primarily driven by improved decentering, the ability to become aware and reflect on thoughts and feelings.
