T rial of Compassion C ultivation Training Effects on Mindfulness Affect and Emotion Regulation By Hooria Jazaieri Kelly McGonigal Researchers at Stanford University Published in Motivation and Emotion . Randomiza tion if done properly can keep study groups as similar as possible at the outset so that the investigators can isolate and quantify the effect of the interventions they are studying No other study design gives us the power to balance unkno 005 p0005 p0005 p0013 p0013 p0013 25 25 25 20 20 20 15 15 15 10 10 10 5 5 5 0 0 0 5 5 5 01 01 01 2345678 2345678 2345678 Change in UDysRS Score LS Mean SE Change in UDysRS Score LS Mean SE Change in UDysRS Score LS Mean SE Weeks Weeks Weeks Placeb Impact Evaluation Methods for Policy Makers.
