This NCCIH funded study will recruit 76 individuals with depression symptoms who will be randomized to either mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) orhealth education (HE). We will examine whether affective executive functioning (i.e., emotionally-laden inhibition, shifting, and updating) is a mechanism of treatments for depression. We will also examine the time course in which affective executive functioning and depression change over time during treatment.
