Title

The Effect of Mindfulness Meditation on Susceptibility to Misinformation.

Summary

This study explores whether mindfulness induction can reduce the incorporation of false information into eyewitness testimony. Participants were exposed to misleading post-event information about a crime and received mindfulness induction at various stages of the task. The investigation found that mindfulness induction did not significantly affect susceptibility to misinformation or the endorsement of true information, suggesting that brief mindfulness practices may not mitigate the misinformation effect.
