The Effectiveness of a Digital Mindfulness Nudge Intervention on Well-Being, Cognitive, and Academic Outcomes in College Students

The goal of this controlled trial is to learn if a digital mindfulness nudge intervention named "28 Days of Mindful Moments" works to improve cognitive, well-being and academic outcomes in college students. The main questions it aims to answer are: Cognitive: Does "28 Days of Mindful Moments" increase the level of mindfulness and decrease the level of rumination among participants? Well-Being: Does "28 Days of Mindful Moments" lower the levels of depression, anxiety, stress, negative affect and increase the levels of life satisfaction and positive affect among participants? Academic: Does "28 Days of Mindful Moments" increase the levels of productivity, study engagement, goal progress and decrease the levels of procrastination and study burnout among participants? Researchers will compare the digital mindfulness nudge intervention to a waitlist control to see if the intervention works to improve the above outcomes. Participants will: Do daily mindfulness tasks/exercises such as mindful breathing or body scans for 1 month (28 Days) Fill in a questionnaire survey at two fixed time points (before and after for participants in the experimental group, before for participants in the control group) Fill in a follow-up survey
