摘要

The beneficial effects of mindfulness have garnered extensive support across numerous investigations. However, the antecedents contributing the fluctuations in state mindfulness remain understudied. Given that the nature of emotion-eliciting situations varies across different contextual dimensions in everyday life, this study employed ambulatory assessment to examine how state mindfulness adapts to diverse contexts and its subsequent emotional ramifications. Participants provided reports on the intensity (Study 1) or controllability (Study 2) of negative emotion-eliciting stimuli, state mindfulness, which was measured by items adapted from the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and concurrent positive and negative affect seven times daily over a week. A two-level mediation analysis elucidated the pathways from contextual factors to state mindfulness and from state mindfulness to affective states. In Study 1, intensity positively correlated with observing, describing and non-reactivity, yet exhibited a negative association with non-judging and acting with awareness. Further, observing was positively linked to both negative and positive affect; describing correlated positively with positive affect; non-judging showed negatively associations with both affective types; non-reactivity was positively related to positive affect; and acting with awareness correlated negatively with negative affect. Intensity had a significant indirect effect on negative affect via observing, non-judging, and acting with awareness, and on positive affect via observing, describing, non-judging, and non-reactivity. In Study 2, controllability showed positive associations with observing, describing, and non-reactivity, a negative association with non-judging, and no significant correlation with acting with awareness. Emotional outcomes mirrored those in Study 1, except that acting with awareness also positively associated with positive affect. Controllability had a significant indirect effect on negative affect via observing and non-judging, and on positive affect via observing, describing, non-judging, and non-reactivity. Variations in state mindfulness reflect differential responses to changing contextual factors, leading to different emotional outcomes. Understanding these dynamic offer additional insights into the cultivation and enhancement of mindfulness practices.
