Depression is a highly heterogeneous disorder, and meta-analyses of mindfulness-based interventions show moderate efficacy for reducing depressive symptoms. However, the mechanisms governing their efficacy remain unclear, highlighting the need for hypothesis-generating analyses to guide future research. We used Bayesian network analysis in three cross-sectional samples (N = 1135) of undergraduates and participants from the community to identify...
