Brian Galla – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
In this article, I argue that the scalability and effectiveness of universal school-based mindfulness interventions for adolescents will always be limited by the high motivational commitment required to meditate. Mindfulness interventions rely on a single and demanding health behavior--namely, meditation--to cultivate mindfulness skills. But…

Hannah R. Hamilton; Julie Longua Peterson; Tracy DeHart – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: The Theory of Planned Behavior has been applied to COVID-19 protective behaviors, but evidence suggests this theory may be less predictive over time and less valid in individualistic societies. The current study applied this theory among American college students as vaccines became available and added perceived risk. Participants: 242…
