“…Our use of a global measure of mindfulness also precludes assessing whether different aspects are uniquely associated with traumatic symptoms. This is important to consider in future studies as one study found that it was mostly high levels of the non-judging component of mindfulness, but not the observing and acting with awareness components, that predicted less anger rumination and, in turn, less anger Running head: SEXUAL ABUSE OR ASSAULT AND MINDFULNESS 17 and aggression (Peters et al 2015).

We thank school directors, teachers and students for their generous collaboration in this project, as well as research assistants, in particular Erika Bacon, Results reveal that mindfulness acted as a mediator of post-traumatic symptoms, as CSA was associated with lower levels of mindfulness, which in turn were associated with more post-traumatic symptoms. On the other hand, mindfulness only acted as a moderator of CSA for anger and anxiety, but not in the expected direction. Further investigation is needed to shed light on the moderator role of mindfulness in sexually abused youth.Running head: SEXUAL ABUSE OR ASSAULT AND MINDFULNESS 3

“…Authors also conclude that more advanced practitioners could be able to develop both types of regulation. Recent research by Peters et al (2015) also pointed to a signiÞ cant positive relationship between mind wandering and aggression, suggesting that lowering rumination through mindfulness actually leads to reduction of anger. Development of mindfulness for the purpose of better coping with stress and other negative emotions seems to be especially crucial in leadership as some authors suggest a leader's emotional state to be easily distributed on followers (Boyatzis & McKee, 2005).…”

This paper focuses on the current state of art in mindfulness research on workplace and identi es some of the necessary steps and risks in the creation of mindful leadership theory. Mindfulness has the potential to e ectively address three topical organizational challenges of growing demands on adaptability, prevailing issues of work-related stress and the necessity to raise the moral level in organizations. Current studies seem to suitably respond to the issues of work-related stress; however, the challenges of adaptability and morality so far lack appropriate empirical validation. Lack of empirical support is also noticeable in the case of mindful leadership theory as most studies still focus solely on individual leader development. However, it is important to start to discuss the suitable core variables of mindful leadership now as a clear di erentiation from other leadership approaches like authentic leadership will be crucial for successful creation of mindful leadership theory. This paper also presents recommendations for entrepreneurs and managers willing to incorporate mindfulness into their organizational settings.

“…Research in positive psychology has shown that altruistic behaviour has a positive influence on various psychological outcomes (Nelson et al 2015;Ouweneel et al 2014;Weinstein and Ryan 2010). Furthermore mindfulness has been shown to reduce rumination, significantly reducing aggressive behaviour, and depressive symptoms (Borders et al 2010;Eisenlohr-Moul et al 2016;Heeren and Philippot 2011;Heppner et al 2008;Hwang and Kearney 2013;Labelle et al 2010;Peters et al 2015;Rodriguez et al 2014;Yusainy and Lawrence 2015), in addition to many of its other well-known benefits (Creswell 2017;Gotink et al 2015;Paulus 2016).…”

Mindfulness interventions are becoming increasingly popular across a wide variety of clinical and non-clinical settings where they are often employed to promote psychological wellbeing. Mindfulness in its original context presented in Buddhist practice is used to systematically understand one's moment-to-moment experience, and to gradually develop selfknowledge and wisdom. Buddhist teachings describe wisdom as seeing things just as they are -a requisite for the complete freedom from suffering. In psychological writings, although the construct of wisdom lacks a commonly accepted definition, direct experiential self-knowledge is considered to be an essential element of wisdom. The purpose of this article is to examine the three major trainings of the Buddhist path, as well as some of the key Buddhist theoretical constructs, in order to explore their contribution to the gradual development of experiential selfknowledge and wisdom. In Buddhist traditions, mindfulness is practised in the context of a moral and philosophical system, and the mind is described as a sequence of momentary mental states, each distinct and discrete, their connections with one another being causal. We explain how a clear understanding of mindfulness within the context of this broader theoretical framework can be helpful to individuals engaging in different levels of the mindfulness meditation practice, and how this understanding can result in more sustained outcomes for mindfulness interventions.Further explorations are made into how various barriers and motivators to mindfulness meditation can be better understood by linking the theoretical aspects with current research literature on mindfulness.
