The study is performed to recognize overall effect size of interventions based on mindfulness and further find the moderator variables which affect the effect size. In order to achieve this goal, we have selected ACT and MBSR as intervention programs among many studies published in the national academic journals and performed meta-analysis of studies treating depressive and anxiety symptom as dependent variables. In case of anxiety symptom, it showed a significant difference in ACT (Hedges’g=−0.596), however, it did not show any significant difference in MBSR (Hedges’g=−0.419). In case of depressive symptom, both ACT (Hedges’g=−0.622) and MBSR (Hedges’g=−0.784) showed significant differences.
