Tai Chi Intervention Effects on Stress, Attention, and Resilience in Adults

68 adults participated in an 8-week randomized controlled trial evaluating Tai Chi as a public health intervention. The dataset, authored by Nan Wang and shared under CC-BY-4.0, contains pre- and post-intervention measurements of perceived stress, attentional performance, and psychological resilience. Results showed moderate-to-large effect sizes for improvements in the Tai Chi group compared to controls.

Use Cases

• Analyze the effect of an 8-week Tai Chi intervention on perceived stress levels based on Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) scores
• Compare attentional performance changes between intervention and control groups based on Attention Network Test (ANT) results
• Model improvements in psychological resilience based on Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25) scores
• Evaluate the scalability of mind-body practices for public health using effect size data (partial eta squared)

Strengths

• Data comes from a structured, 8-week randomized controlled trial with 68 participants
• Outcomes are measured using validated scales (PSS-10, ANT, CD-RISC-25) at baseline and post-intervention
• Analysis includes reported effect sizes (partial eta squared) for stress (0.32), attention (0.16), and resilience (0.41)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small at 157.1 KB, indicating limited scope
