One hundred and
three residents were assigned to an experimental group (n = 60) that completed an 8-week mindfulness training versus a
wait-list control group (n = 43). We evaluated emotional variables (sadness, anxiety, and anger, using standard
instruments), state of mindfulness (using the Mindfulness Awareness Attention Scale), and attentional control variables
using objective measures such as a continuous performance task and the Stroop task before and after mindfulness training
