ROI analysis of emotion expectation negative vs neutral (eng > ent) and ‘unknown’ vs neutral (euk > ent) and emotion perception negative vs neutral (png > pnt) in the mindfulness group compared with the basic group. Mean beta weights of the contrasts were compared between groups using 2-tailed student’s t-tests with 44 df. Results rounded (two digits). Significant differences are given in bold (P < 0.05), differences with a trend in italics (P < 0.1). Effect sizes for the significant differences are indicated in brackets.

ROI egde-length: 9 × 9 × 9 mm (amygdala), 10 × 10 × 10 mm (DMPFC), 15 × 15 × 15 mm (insula, DLPFC).
