Note. Screening = Larger questionnaire study administered before experimental session; MAAS = Mindful Attention Awareness Scale; DERS = Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Total score; BL = Baseline at experimental session; DERS-S = State Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Total score; PANAS-NA = Negative Affect subscale of the PANAS; PANAS-PA = Positive Affect subscale of the PANAS; TMS1 = Toronto Mindfulness Scale – Immediately post-intervention/control; TMS2 = Toronto Mindfulness Scale – End of experimental session.
