MBSR Effects on Aging Anxiety and Body Image

This study was designed to determine the effect of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program on aging anxiety and body image among middle-aged women. The primary hypotheses to be tested are as follows: H0a: There is no difference in the mean scores of the Aging Anxiety Scale between the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program and the women in the control group. H0b: There is no difference in the mean scores of the Body Image Scale between the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program and the women in the control group. H0c: There is no difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention mean scores of the Aging Anxiety Scale among the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program. H0d: There is no difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention mean scores of the Body Image Scale among the women in the experimental group who receive the mindfulness-based stress reduction program. The researchers will compare the experimental group with the control group in order to assess the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program on aging anxiety and body image among middle-aged women. Participants: * They will attend an 8-session mindfulness-based stress reduction program. * They will participate in one silent mindfulness retreat session.
