This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether the amount of time you spend meditating each day matters for your mental health and wellbeing. Researchers will randomly assign you to one of four groups: you'll do either 3–4 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes of guided meditation every day for 4 weeks. The study wants to find out if doing more meditation helps people feel better, less anxious, or less depressed than doing smaller amounts.
Many people are interested in meditation as a way to improve their mood and reduce stress and anxiety, but we don't yet know how much meditation you actually need to do to see real benefits. This study will help answer that question so people can make informed choices about whether meditation is worth their time.

You will use a meditation app to do guided meditation every single day for 4 weeks. Depending on which group you're randomly assigned to, your daily practice will be either 3–4 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes. The study will ask you to complete brief surveys about your mood and wellbeing at the start, at 2 weeks in, at 4 weeks (after you finish), and again 2 months later. You'll also track your daily meditation practice and report how it feels.
