Younger Canadians are more prone to self-judgment, SFU study finds

A study by Simon Fraser University psychologists that examined different facets of mindfulness in Canadians has found that youth and adolescents are more likely to display traits of self-judgment and have worse mental health, including anxiety, depression and stress.
By contrast, older participants were found to be more likely to be mindful and focus their attention on the present moment, observing themselves and others without judgment. Those who showed these traits of high mindfulness and nonjudgmental awareness also reported the greatest mental health and wellbeing, with less anxiety, depression and stress.
