Mindfulness in a College Physiology Course

Description

This proposed study aims to evaluate whether integrating mindfulness into an undergraduate biology course (Mindful Physiology) influences student applied mindfulness and stress regulation. The primary questions are 1. Would completing the Mindful Physiology course increase applied mindfulness? 2. Would completing the course increase self-efficacy in stress regulation? 3. Would completing the course reduce perceived reactivity to acute stressors?
