Mindfulness and Education
With mindfulness initiatives currently highly topical in a range of academic, therapeutic and other domains, new applications of mindfulness have begun to appear in educational settings. This accumulation of twelve research-focused papers contributes to the nascent field of mindfulness in education by exploring practical implementations, as well as theoretical concerns within a range of educational contexts. The contributions in this volume reflect and capture the diversity of approaches to research-linked mindfulness programmes being implemented in contemporary education at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Ranging across a number of disciplines, the chapters contribute to work on mindfulness in psychology, education theory, and Buddhist studies. From the evidence provided here, it is shown that the implementation of mindfulness in educational settings is certainly worthwhile, while appropriately rigorous research methods are still being developed.

Multimodal-multisensor Analytics for Detecting Anxiety Phases in Individuals Experiencing High Anxiety
This PhD thesis aims to advance objective assessments of anxiety to address the drawbacks of current clinical assessments. It uses multiple methods, including semi-structured interviews, lab-based data collection, signal analysis techniques, and multimodal-multisensor analytics. In total, 147 subjects participated in qualitative and quantitative data collection studies. Its results detected high-anxious vs. low-anxious individuals, conceptualized four anxiety phases, and detected all those phases in 65% of high-anxious individuals by fusing three physiological and behavioral features; a 30% improvement compared to the best unimodal feature. Overall, this thesis is a fundamental contribution toward the long-term aims of minimizing the burden of anxiety disorders. Full content at: https://doi.org/10.26180/19728097.v1
Dark Emotions
Dark Emotions is a book about a range of emotional experiences that are often regarded or characterized as ‘negative’, ‘disturbing’ or ‘dark’ as contrasted with emotions that are ‘positive’, ‘pleasant’ or ‘light’. Each chapter in the book is devoted to introducing different ‘dark emotions’ such as disappointment, betrayal, worry, regret, resentment and alienation and seeks to show – through conceptual, theoretical and empirical examples – how these emotions influence peoples’ lives and their relations to self, others and society. The book thus provides an overview of some dark emotions that are recognizable in our everyday lives and culture. It contains accessible introductions and relevant theoretical and empirical research on 12 different kinds of ‘dark emotions’. The chapters are highly useful for teaching sessions and research contexts. Additionally, they provide extensive lists of references for further reading. The book will be particularly useful for students or scholars with an interest in emotion research or related areas, and the book may inspire further investigation of the often- overlooked emotions presented in this volume.
