There were group differences on mindful non-judging (F(2,44)=7.22, p=.002) but not mindful awareness (p>.05). Combat exposure accounted for significant variation in PTSD symptoms (hyper-arousal 47%; numbing-avoiding 32%; re-experiencing 23%). Mindfulness accounted for a significant percentage variance of PTSD symptoms (re-experiencing 32%; numbing-avoiding 19%, hyper-arousal 16%), beyond comb...Continue Reading
