Research investigating Mindfulness as an approach to intervention has generally taken a quantitative approach, focusing on outcomes rather than processes (Grossman, 2008). The purpose of this research was to develop understanding of how and why Mindfulness training might influence young people. The aim was to explore the changes in narratives that occur in young people following a Mindfulness intervention, in order to provide an understanding of how such an intervention might facilitate change. Participants were young people within a secondary school who were identified as having behavioural difficulties, which allowed for investigation of the theory that Mindfulness may be particularly appropriate for individuals with these difficulties (Davis, 2012).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
