Questions:

Background

1. Describe the effects of stress on physical and mental health. A good source is the introduction of the article titled, "Effects of a Brief Mindfulness Meditation Intervention on Student Stress and Heart Rate Variability". This is Article #1.

2. Describe how stress affects a person's mood and anxiety. Article #1, "Effects of a Brief Mindfulness Meditation Intervention on Student Stress and Heart Rate Variability" is a good source for this information as well.

3. Define heart rate variability and describe how stress affects a person's physiology including heart rate variability. You can use Article #1 and Article #2 as sources for this.

4. In a long answer, summarize the Neurovisceral Integration Model. Also describe how the model links heart rate variability with better emotion regulation and executive function.

5. State the type of intervention you will use in your study. Choose a type of slow-paced breathing activity or a specific meditation activity. Why did you choose this intervention for yourself?

6. In this section, in a long answer, summarize the relevant study (either Article #1 or Article #2) that uses the same intervention (breathing or mindfulness meditation). This will provide some background on what is already known about the effectiveness of the intervention you've selected.

7. Explain how the intervention you chose would help the physiological and psychological stress reaction, according to the Neurovisceral Integration Model.

Hypothesis

8. Make a hypothesis statement regarding the intervention you selected. Specifically, describe how you expect your intervention (breathing or mindfulness meditation) would affect the two dependent variables (stress and heart rate variability).

Conclusion

9. What could be learned about the effectiveness of the intervention after having completed the study?

10. What could be learned about how the brain areas of the Central Autonomic Network function from your study?

11. How could you use this information to better cope with stress?

Method:

12. The participant in the study is a 21-year old male. What is the independent variable (intervention) in your study? Describe your intervention and provide any relevant links to websites if you will be using a guided meditation or breathing activity found online.

13. State the dependent variables. Summarize how you plan on measuring stress and HRV immediately after each session.

14. Describe how often you will practice the intervention per week. The minimum number of times is 3 times per week on separate days.
