Notes.

The confidence intervals were calculated using the standard error and an alpha level of 0.05. A confidence interval that do not overlap zero indicates a significance of p < .05. p values are given for linear mixed models using data from pre-treatment and post-treatment and all individuals (N = 100). The p value associated with the main effect of group denotes significance of average difference between groups at the pre-treatment assessment. The p value associated with the effect of time denotes the significance of average change over all assessment periods across treatment. The p value associated with the effect of G × T (group × time) denotes significance of difference between the treatment group and the control group in change over all assessment periods. Effect sizes are calculated as standardized mean differences. EPS-25: Emotional Processing Scale; FFMQ: Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire.
