About

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.
