Previous studies have shown that brief mindfulness trainings can have significant analgesic effects. However, the effects of the various components of mindfulness on pain analgesia are not well understood. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of two components of mindfulness interventions—attention and acceptance—on pai...
Practitioners with years of mindfulness training (MT) have a reduced attentional blink (AB), relative to novices and non-practitioners. There is still a lack of evidence regarding the impact of relatively short-term intensive traditional MT on AB. Moreover, it is unknown which component(s) of mindfulness underlie mindfulness-associated reductions i...
Previous meditation-related studies included considerably more women than men, potentially concealing gender differences in attention training effects. Here, we present a study exploring potential gender differences in short-term meditation training (MT) effects on performance in an attentional blink (AB) task with a balanced sampling of men and wo...

Fifty-seven participants were recruited and randomly assigned to either the mindfulness...
Depression is closely related to individual social functions. The current study aimed to examine whether depression is associated with ostracism, whether interpretation bias mediates this relationship, and whether trait mindfulness moderates direct and indirect relationships between depression and ostracism. Overall, 389 Chinese college students co...
Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human-like qualities (e.g., mental states) to nonhuman entities, is a universal but variable psychological experience. Adults with professionally diagnosed autism or high levels of subclinical autistic traits consistently show greater tendencies to anthropomorphize, which has been hypothesized to reflect 1) a co...

Background
There has been a recent surge of interest in the development of the Judgement Bias Test (JBT) as a translational assay and objective measure of depressive interpretation bias. Judgement bias, namely the tendency of favoring an approach/avoidance response towards ambiguous cues, is thought to reflect a biased interpretation or anticipatio...
Excessive theta (θ) frequency oscillation and synchronization in the basal ganglia (BG) has been reported in elderly parkinsonian patients and animal models of levodopa (L-dopa)-induced dyskinesia (LID), particularly the θ oscillation recorded during periods when L-dopa is withdrawn (the off L-dopa state). To gain insight into processes underlying...

Depressed individuals are biased to perceive, interpret, and judge ambiguous cues in a negative/pessimistic manner. Depressed mood can induce and exacerbate these biases, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We theorize that depressed mood can bias ambiguity processing by altering one’s subjective emotional feelings (e.g. pleasan...
近几十年来，冥想训练相关研究快速发展。如何建立冥想训练和冥想状态的评估指标，成为研究者们关注的问题。传统的冥想测评方法，通过冥想练习时间长短推测练习者的水平差异，或者通过问卷等自我评估方式进行追溯性测评，或者通过某些特定症状的改善、能力的提升间接反映冥想练习效果。直接的冥想测评方法，则采用报告法或者探测法，直接测评练习者在冥想过程中的状态。未来研究可以在已有的直接测评方法基础上，开发动觉、听觉冥想测评，建立多模态监测指标；与脑电及其他生物反馈指标相结合；建立中国本土化测评标准。

We are revising a scale. It has two factors: F1 (3 items: X1, X2, X3)and F2 (3 items: X4, X5, X6).
Results from Mplus showed that the CFA model indicators are acceptable, however, the factor loading is not. What should we do? Is it OK if we keep the items according to the CFA indicators?
- These are the CFA model indicators:
χ2 /df = 13.740/8=1.718
CFI = 0.978
TLI = 0.959
RMSEA = 0.067
- However, the factor loadings of X4, X5, and X6 seem not good. X4 = 2.825 >1, X5 and X6 < 0.3

Hi, everyone,
I revised a scale. 103 filled the scale. The internal consistency reliability score of the two sub-scales are 0.70 and 0.74. However, the internal consistency reliability of the total score is only 0.45.
Should I collect more data? Or, does it mean the two subscales are independent and it is not appropriate to calculate the total score?
Thanks!
Hey, everyone,
Think about this:
A is positively correlated with B;
A is also positively correlated with C;
BUT, B is negatively correlated with C.
How to explain this result?
Hi, everyone,
I am using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the validity of a revised scale.
Seventy-five students filled the scale 4 times (day1, day2, day3, day4). May I analyze the total 75 * 4 scale data? If not, which one is better? Data in the first time?
Thanks!
Hi,
This is a 4-day training.
Before and after the 4-day training, I got the participants' score of variable A：
- Pre-A;
- Post-A
During the 4 days, I got each day's training quality scores:
- (Day1) B1, C1;
- (Day2) B2, C2;
- (Day3) B3, C3;
- (Day4) B4, C4.
All the scores are questionnaire scores.
How to use each day's quality scores to predict the changes of A?
Thanks.
Several scales were filled out in two groups. So I used the independent t-test to compare the variables. However, the editor suggested that the multiple analyses should be adjusted. Would you please tell me how to adjust the p values (by SPSS)?
Editor:
Do the many results reported within each scale need to be adjusted for multiple analyses? If not, explain why. If so, then report significant results after proper adjustment.
