“…Mindfulness seems to exponentiate the experience of positive affective reactions to micro‐daily events, so that individuals may be able to get more out of those affective experiences. Thus, mindfulness is a psychological process that allows people to be aware of events and helps them to better regulate affect, according to the micro‐daily events experienced (Michalak et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to expand the knowledge on the affective events theory by:(1) testing the mediating role of affect in the relationship between micro-daily events and well-being, (2) and analyzing the moderating role of mindfulness in this mediated relationship. To achieve these goals, we collected data with 393 working adults. The results showed that: (1) affect mediates the relationship between micro-daily events and well-being; (2) mindfulness moderates the mediated relationship between micro-daily events and well-being via affect, that is, higher levels of mindfulness are positively related to well-being in particular when the levels of positive affect are higher. These results show the importance of providing conditions for the occurrence of daily uplifts at work as these seem to lead to increases in employees' well-being. Promoting mindfulness at work also seems relevant for workers' mental health and well-being, for example, through complementary training or daily practices.

“…For instance, there has been an increased interest in mindfulness‐based interventions applied at work (Scheepers et al, 2020). These interventions aim, not only to enhance well‐being, but are also a train for the development of emotion regulation strategies to overcome daily hassles and negative affect (Michalak et al, 2020).…”

“…The last few decades have seen increasing dissemination of application of mindfulness in numerous fields, and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been implemented in order to promote wellness, reduce stress, and treat various mental disorders (Michalak et al 2020). Especially in times of the current COVID-19 pandemic, where millions of people around the world suffer from the consequences of lockdowns, social distancing, separation from families and friends, and financial and workplace pressure (Kumar and Nayar 2020), a better understanding of factors that protect from psychopathological distress is warranted.…”

Network Analysis of Mindfulness Facets, Affect, Compassion, and Distress

et al. 2020

Objectives Mindfulness, positive affect, and compassion may protect against psychological distress but there is lack of understanding about the ways in which these factors are linked to mental health. Network analysis is a statistical method used to investigate complex associations among constructs in a single network and is particularly suitable for this purpose. The aim of this study was to explore how mindfulness facets, affect, and compassion were linked to psychological distress using network analysis. Methods The sample (n = 400) included equal numbers from general and student populations who completed measures of five mindfulness facets, compassion, positive and negative affect, depression, anxiety, and stress. Network analysis was used to explore the direct associations between these variables. Results Compassion was directly related to positive affect, which in turn was strongly and inversely related to depression and positively related to the observing and describing facets of mindfulness. The non-judgment facet of mindfulness was strongly and inversely related to negative affect, anxiety, and depression, while non-reactivity and acting with awareness were inversely associated with stress and anxiety, respectively. Strong associations were found between all distress variables. Conclusions The present network analysis highlights the strong link between compassion and positive affect and suggests that observing and describing the world through the lens of compassion may enhance resilience to depression. Taking a non-judging and non-reacting stance toward internal experience while acting with awareness may protect against psychological distress. Applicability of these findings can be examined in experimental studies aiming to prevent distress and enhance psychological well-being.

“…Further, given evidence that MBIs are at least as effective, and in some cases more effective, than existing treatments would suggest that these interventions are ready for widespread dissemination. Future research should focus on approaches to increase the dissemination and implementation of MBIs into more community treatment settings [61]. Cost-effectiveness analyses of MBIs for SUD would also be an important next step to inform policy makers and tax payers.…”

Background: Substance use disorders are prevalent and returning to substance use (i.e., relapse) following treatment is common, underscoring the need for effective treatments that will help individuals maintain long-term reductions in substance use. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been increasingly developed and evaluated for the treatment of substance use disorders. The aim of this article was to update a systematic review conducted by Li et al. in 2017 on the outcomes of randomized control trials of MBIs for substance use disorders. In addition, we provided a session-by-session examination of the most widely used MBI protocols. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search of the PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases from January of 2016 through April of 2020. Studies were included based on the following criteria: 1) examined the effects of an MBI, 2) employed a randomized controlled trial design with repeated measures, including secondary data analyses of randomized controlled trials, and 3) enrolled participants seeking treatment for substance use disorders. Results: The search identified 902 publications and 30 studies were eligible for inclusion and data extraction. MBIs appear to be as effective as existing evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders at reducing the frequency and quantity of alcohol and drug use, substance-related problems, craving for substance use, and at increasing the rate of abstinence. Conclusions: Future directions include additional large scale randomized controlled trials, investigation of the most suitable settings and protocols, examination of patient populations that may benefit most from MBIs, and dissemination and implementation research.
