“…Moreover, additional fine-grained assessments of contextual characteristics within cycle phases (i.e., current social or physical activities) by combining active (e.g., momentary self-reports) and passive data acquisition (e.g., mobile sensing) may advance our understanding of risk factors as well as of critical external and internal determinants (Schick et al, 2023) of mood and cortisol variability in PMDD. Lastly, whereas within-subject couplings with time-lagged analyses, as done in the present study, are considered a good starting point to uncover potential causal associations, there is need for additional within-subject experimental approaches in daily life (cf., Huffziger et al, 2013; Kuehner et al, 2023; Schmiedek & Neubauer, 2020).…”

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is characterized by a cyclical symptom course. Previous research provides limited findings on possible menstrual-cycle-related psychological and psychoendocrinological processes in PMDD. By using ambulatory assessment (AA), we aimed to compare mood and cortisol cyclicity in individuals with PMDD and healthy controls (HC), and to assess effects of habitual and momentary repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and present moment awareness (PMA) on mood and cortisol across the cycle in both groups. Individuals with PMDD and HC (n = 60 each) completed baseline questionnaires on habitual RNT and PMA. Momentary rumination and PMA, positive and negative affect (NA), and saliva-cortisol were assessed over four consecutive days during both the follicular and the late-luteal phase. Individuals with PMDD showed mood cyclicity indicating mood worsening while HC showed cortisol cyclicity indicating decreasing cortisol levels toward the late-luteal phase. In individuals with PMDD, lower habitual RNT and higher habitual PMA predicted better mood only during the follicular phase whereas lower momentary rumination and higher momentary PMA predicted better mood during the late-luteal phase. No effects on cortisol activity were found. In HC, higher habitual PMA predicted lower NA during the late-luteal phase whereas lower momentary rumination and higher momentary PMA predicted stronger cortisol reduction toward the late-luteal phase. While favorable habitual cognitions might not protect individuals with PMDD against premenstrual mood deterioration, respective momentary cognitions may reflect possible protective factors, suggesting an opportunity for microinterventions to directly target late-luteal-phase-specific state processes in affected individuals. The lack of cortisol cyclicity might represent an endocrinological marker for PMDD. General Scientific SummaryThis study suggests differential effects of habitual and momentary aspects of repetitive negative thinking and present moment awareness on mood and cortisol across the menstrual cycle in individuals assigned female at birth with retrospectively diagnosed premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Whereas favorable cognitive traits appear not to protect affected individuals from premenstrual mood worsening, their state aspects predict better premenstrual mood. In addition, lacking cortisol cyclicity may represent an endocrinological marker for PMDD.

“…It is worth noting that MBIs enhance focusing attention skills and awareness, which consequently contributes to strengthening self-regulation skills and helping individuals effectively cope with life challenges (e.g., González-García et al, 2016;Tang et al, 2015;Van Gordon et al, 2015;Zhao & Zhou, 2020). Additionally, recent scientific literature (e.g., Kuehner et al, 2023) strongly states that cognitive processing (i.e., mostly related to attention focusing; e.g., Mao et al, 2023) can be enhanced as a result of MBI training, and accordingly, it might help in health improvement (e.g., Dunn & Dimolareva, 2022) and emotional regulation (e.g., Ch et al, 2023).…”

Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has caused high mortality rates worldwide, as well as consequent psychological and physical stress. The present study aimed to review the main existing scientific research studies conducted since the onset of the COVID-19 that have used mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) as tools for emotional regulation, aiming to improve individuals’ ability to cope with general stress caused by pandemic periods and their consequences (e.g., contagion, confinement, loss of loved ones or job stability) especially related with anxiety, stress, depression, or emotional dysregulation. Method To this aim, six databases (i.e., PubMed, Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct) were consulted and analyzed following PRISMA-Sc guidelines. Results Of the 16 studies selected, 7 are clinical trials that used MBIs, and 9 are online surveys in which mindfulness and emotional regulation variables were assessed to explore their interrelations. Generally, the analysis suggested that the cultivation of MBI strategies for treating anxiety and depression during COVID-19 confinement periods resulted in improved psychological well-being. Conclusions MBI techniques can be considered useful intervention tools in current and future worldwide changing situations, in which personal development and resilience should be considered an urgent issue for both educational and preventive health practices. Conversely, there are also some limitations that arose from the field of MBI research that hopefully might be addressed in future research (such as the diversity of intervention techniques used across studies). Pre registration This study is not preregistered.
