The participants in each group underwent weekly 1.5-hour sessions in their designated intervention method and daily home practice for twelve weeks; this was followed by another 12 weeks of home practice. Researchers then conducted follow-up assessments at the end of the 24-week study. The results indicated that all of the three methods of stress intervention contributed to the decrease in negative emotions and the increase in general well-being. Yet the group that practiced mindfulness exhibited a slightly higher level of improvement compared to the other two groups. 01/12/2011
