Abstract
During the past three decades, there has been increasing interest in mindfulness and mindfulness interventions due to a
wealth of theoretical and empirical research linking them with positive psychosocial, cognitive and health outcomes (Keng,
Smoski, & Robbins, 2011). The core features of mindfulness, namely awareness and non-judgmental acceptance of a
person’s moment-to-moment experience, are regarded as potentially effective antidotes against common forms of
psychological distress, such as rumination, anxiety and anger; these often involve maladaptive tendencies to avoid,
suppress, or over-engage with one's distressing thoughts and emotions (Kabat-Zinn, 1990; Keng, et al., 2011).
