Article Synopsis
- Emotional appraisals of political stimuli can lead to shared yet divisive interpretations, but mindfulness training (MT) may help reduce automatic social biases.
- A study compared the effects of short-term mindfulness training (MT) and Cognitive Reappraisal training (CT) on emotional responses while participants viewed inflammatory news clips.
- Findings indicated that MT participants displayed higher levels of anger and disgust, along with different patterns of prefrontal cortical neural synchrony compared to CT participants, suggesting that mindfulness may impact emotional regulation in politically charged contexts.
