ABSTRACT
Americans today report facing multiple stressors, including the COVID-19 pandemic (American Psychological Association, 2020), anxiety disorders (American Psychiatric Association, n.d.), chronic stress (Bergland, 2017), and more. As smartphones become increasingly ingrained in our society, many adults seek out self-directed stress management techniques facilitated via smartphone. A plethora of options are available, and mobile health applications have become increasingly popular in recent years (Lau et al., 2020). With over 70 million downloads across available platforms and users in over 190 countries (Headspace Inc., 2022), the mobile application Headspace may be one of the most well-known mobile health apps. As of May 2022; Headspace can be accessed via the mobile app or the product website (https://www .headspace.com/). (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
