Brief Summary:
This study hopes to
1 explore whether an increase in the dosage of cognitive flexibility intervention corresponds to greater effectiveness of mindfulness intervention in alleviating emotional distress
2 explore whether cognitive flexibility mediates the effects of mindfulness intervention on alleviating emotional distress
1 explore whether an increase in the dosage of cognitive flexibility intervention corresponds to greater effectiveness of mindfulness intervention in alleviating emotional distress

Detailed Description:
Epidemiological findings in 34The Lancet Psychiatry34 indicated that anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder panic disorder and social anxiety disorder are the most prevalent category of disorders in China with a lifetime prevalence of 76 Depression follows closely with a lifetime prevalence of 68 With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 the prevalence of both anxiety and depressive disorders increased However the current availability of psychological intervention resources in China is inadequate to meet the demand This underscores the critical importance of developing effective and efficient psychological intervention approaches as well as investigating their effectiveness and mechanisms to optimize intervention strategies

In recent years mindfulness-based interventions MBIs have been increasingly applied to alleviate emotional distress in both clinical and non-clinical populations with their efficacy widely supported Additionally numerous researchers have explored the mechanisms underlying mindfulness and MBIs proposing various theories One of the mechanisms frequently suggested by researchers is cognitive flexibility However there has been limited direct investigation into the mechanisms of cognitive flexibility and its related processes or abilities Cognitive flexibility CF is considered a common etiological factor or transdiagnostic characteristic of emotional distress including anxiety and depression Nevertheless few studies have explored the mechanisms of how mindfulness interventions alleviate emotional distress from the perspective of cognitive flexibility and the transdiagnostic characteristics of anxiety and depression This lack of research hampers our ability to obtain sufficient information to develop or enhance mindfulness-based intervention methods to assist individuals with emotional disorders or highly emotionally distressed subclinical populations
This study is grounded in the critical role of CF in the generation and maintenance of emotional distress as well as the mindfulness principle of approaching pain with awareness and acceptance non-judgmental and non-reactive It posits that cognitive flexibility might be a potential mechanism through which mindfulness interventions alleviate emotional distress Following the criteria for establishing mechanisms this research investigates this issue Based on the current state of research cognitive flexibility as a mechanism for MBIs to alleviate emotional distress meets the plausibility criterion and partially satisfies the strong association criterion and experimental manipulation criterion However further research is needed to assess its consistency criterion temporal precedence criterion and gradient criterion
The current study primarily focuses on the experimental manipulation and gradient criteria The aim is to examine whether the mechanism of cognitive flexibility meets the experimental manipulation and gradient criteria by adjusting the content of the mindfulness intervention for emotional distress MIED program which can directly impact distress tolerance and manipulate the dosage of cognitive flexibility intervention
