Abstract

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of an online mind-body training (MBT) program on participants' stress, anger, coping strategies, emotional intelligence, resilience, and positive and negative affect. Forty-two healthy women participated in an online MBT program for approximately 8-10 minutes a day for 8 weeks; a control group of 45 healthy women did not participate in the program. Self-report psychological questionnaires were administered before the beginning of the program and at 4 and 8 weeks following its onset. Data from the MBT group and the control group were compared using repeated measures ANOVA and Student's t-tests. Significant time x group interaction effects were found with respect to stress, coping strategies, anger, emotional intelligence, negative affect and resilience. These results demonstrate beneficial effects of the online MBT program and significant improvements in the psychological capabilities of participants compared with the control group. The effects of online MBT program were similar with those of the previous offline MBT in psychological aspects, suggesting further studies for neuroscientific evidence related stress and emotion of online MBT effects.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In included studies, job demand positively correlated with perceived stress, and stress negatively correlated with emotional intelligence.

    “Additionally, a positive correlation was found between job demand and perceived stress, while stress negatively correlated with emotional intelligence (35).”

    From Digital resilience interventions for healthcare workers: a systematic review (2025) · cites this paper as [35]

    The Results section on job demand and perceived stress reports a positive correlation in the MBT group at baseline and for eight-week changes in the control group, but not in the other group at each time point. The Results section on emotional intelligence reports a negative correlation with stress for eight-week changes in the MBT group, but not the control group. The citing sentence omits these group and time qualifications. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
