Elucidating the role of mind–body connection profiles in emotional reactivity and regulation amongst typically developed adults

The refined BMCQ-10 holds promise as an efficient measure of salient mind-body connection constituents. Findings underscore the nuanced, significant within-group variability that exists amongst mind-body connection beliefs, emotional reactivity, and ease of regulating emotions. Targeted interventions for persons with particular mind-body connection profiles (for example, mindfulness) may be effective avenues for enhancing adaptive beliefs which may promote the cultivation of positive emotions and improve emotion regulation in clinical and non-clinical groups.
