Mindfulness as a Strategy for Improving Relationships and Reducing Stress, presenter, Lillian Eby, University of Georgia
The 2021-2022 Psychology Colloquium Series is delighted to present a talk from Dr. Lillian Eby, an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist at the University of Georgia. Research on the application of mindfulness to organizational settings has exploded. Most of this research takes an intrapersonal perspective, examining how mindfulness can improve individual outcomes. However, other disciplines document the potential interpersonal benefits of mindfulness. A conceptual model of the relational aspects of mindfulness will be presented along with a program of research aimed at examining the relational benefits. All are welcome. Undergraduate students in SONA-supported classes can receive 1.5 credits for attending and completing a summary. Registration is encouraged.
