Abstract

This experimental study investigates the influence of mindfulness practice on susceptibility to evaluative conditioning, a psychological phenomenon wherein attitudes toward a neutral stimulus are modified through its association with positive or negative stimuli. A sample of participants underwent a mindfulness intervention, while another group served as controls. Both groups completed tasks involving evaluative conditioning paradigms, including measures of attitude change toward neutral stimuli paired with positive and negative stimuli. Results indicate that individuals who engaged in mindfulness practice exhibited reduced susceptibility to evaluative conditioning compared to control participants. These findings contribute to understanding the potential role of mindfulness in cognitive processes related to attitude formation and modification.
