研究證實，覺察減壓方法可使大專學生減輕心理壓力(此年齡常見心理壓力)。有研究指出8週覺察減壓 (MBSR) 的效果可多延長兩個月<ref>Felver, Joshua C.; Morton, Melissa L.; Clawson, Adam J. (2018). "Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Reduces Psychological Distress in College Students". College Student Journal. 52 (3): 291–298. ISSN 0146-3934</ref>。

覺察減壓技術可對飲食失調者有幫助，亦會改善人們對自己身體的看法<ref>Khoshkerdar, Parya; Raeisi, Zohreh (March 2020).

Australian Journal of Psychology. 72 (1): 11–19. doi:10.1111/ajpy.12265. ISSN 0004-9530</ref>。MBSR 注重有效的因應技巧，可透過自我同情來改善人際關係、正向影響一個人的身體形象、和增進幸福感。

研究證實，覺察訓練可增進壓力下的聚焦能力、注意力和工作能力<ref>Lazar SW, Kerr CE, Wasserman RH, et al. (November 2005). "Meditation experience is associated with increased cortical thickness".

PMID 24290038.</ref>。

此外，最近的研究顯示，覺察減壓會增進照護者(尤其是母親)、抵抗藥物濫用的年輕人之自我同情心和幸福感<ref>Smith, Jacqueline M.; Bright, Katherine S.; Mader, Joel; Smith, Jennifer; Afzal, Arfan Raheen; Patterson, Charmaine; Dimitropolous, Gina; Crowder, Rachael (April 2020). "A pilot of a mindfulness based stress reduction intervention for female caregivers of youth who are experiencing substance use disorders". Addictive Behaviors. 103: 106223. doi:10.1016/j.addbeh.2019.106223. PMID 31838440.</ref>。覺察介入會使母親的壓力有所減輕，學會與自己相處，進而改善人際關係。

覺察減壓不只影響獨自奮鬥者和其相關的人，也會正面影響健康的族群。2019年，Roca 等人<ref>Roca, Pablo; Diez, Gustavo G.; Castellanos, Nazareth; Vazquez, Carmelo (2019-07-18). Sendiña-Nadal, Irene (ed.). "Does mindfulness change the mind? A novel psychonectome perspective based on Network Analysis". PLOS One. 14 (7): e0219793. Bibcode:2019PLoSO..1419793R. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0219793. ISSN 1932-6203. PMC 6638953. PMID 31318929.</ref>研究參與8週覺察減壓課程的健康族群，結果將 MBSR 分成五個面向：覺察、同情、心理幸福感、心理苦惱、和情緒認知控制，並以問卷方式觀察包含這五個面向的心理功能。整體來說，覺察和幸福感是最重要的測量變項。

覺察介入及其影響是非常流行的，尤其覺察已是學術上的顯學。在訪談平均年齡為11歲的兒童之後，可發現覺察有助於他們調節情緒，且兒童們認為，如果學校和老師可介紹和融入越多的覺察，他們便能購更容易地應用覺察的原理原則<ref>Hutchinson, Julia K.; Huws, Jaci C.; Dorjee, Dusana (December 2018). "Exploring experiences of children in applying a school-based mindfulness programme to their lives". Journal of Child and Family Studies. 27 (12): 3935–3951. doi:10.1007/s10826-018-1221-2. ISSN 1062-1024.</ref>。

如前所述，覺察可增加同情心，而高度的自我同情心則會大幅度地減低壓力<ref name="#3">Sevel, Landrew S.; Finn, Micheal T.M.; Smith, Rachel M.; Ryden, Anna M.; McKernan, Lindsey C. (February 2020). "Self‐compassion in mindfulness‐based stress reduction: An examination of prediction and mediation of intervention effects". Stress and Health. 36 (1): 88–96. doi:10.1002/smi.2917. ISSN 1532-3005. PMID 31874122.</ref>和增進自我覺知能力<ref name="#3"/>，這些狀況會發生在課程當中或課程之後。由此可知，覺察減壓可以直接地或間接地提高自我同情心。

在華人相關學術領域中，2020年出版學術性的文獻探討及探索性因素分析之實證研究，[http://www.obf.org.tw/article/rab/RAB040_04.aspx Mindfulness中譯釐正為覺察之佛學與科學實證檢驗：覺察與正念判準量表之研發] {{Wayback|url=http://www.obf.org.tw/article/rab/RAB040_04.aspx |date=20200923123355 }}<ref>[http://www.obf.org.tw/article/rab/RAB040_04.aspx {{Wayback|url=http://www.obf.org.tw/article/rab/RAB040_04.aspx |date=20200923123355 }} 汪珮渲與賴世烱 (2020)。Mindfulness中譯釐正為覺察之佛學與科學實證檢驗：覺察與正念判準量表之研發。佛學與科學，第21卷，第1期，10-29。]]</ref>，探討覺察與正念的關係，研究者指出：Mindfulness 之中文翻譯為[[覺察]]，佛學專有用語之「[[正念]]」確實有評斷正確、正當的正向積極之意，覺察與正念有關，正念可包含覺察，但覺察卻無法包含並代表正念，兩者不能混為一談。該研究中並發展覺察與正念判準量表，用以明確區分覺察與正念為兩個不同面向。
