Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effects of internet-based mindfulness interventions (e-MBIs) on reducing anxiety, depression, and stress in cancer patients, specifically those with prostate or breast cancer.
- It assesses how the variety and frequency of mindfulness practices, along with factors like personality traits and sociodemographic characteristics, relate to symptom improvements.
- Results indicate that participants who practiced mindfulness more diversely and consistently showed significant symptom reduction, with male, married, and educated individuals more likely to engage in these practices.
Background: Human body odors (BOs) serve as an effective means of social communication, with individuals exposed to emotional BOs experiencing a partial replication of the sender's affective state. This phenomenon may be particularly relevant in conditions where social interactions are impaired, such as social anxiety. Our study aimed to investigate if emotional human BOs could augment the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions.
