Background. Flow is characterized by the strong concentration in competitions, eliminating irrelevant thoughts and emotions, integrating all tasks, and continuing the competition smoothly even in challenging situations. The present study was into whether or not brief mindfulness training can improve athletes’ flow and further explore the mediating effect of resilience in the intervention. Methods. The 2 (experimental conditions) × 2 (time) mixed design was used in this study. Fifty-seven student-athletes were recruited and randomly assigned into either a brief mindfulness group (n = 29) or a control group (n = 28). Before and after the intervention, every participant completed a self-report measure including mindfulness, flow, and resilience. Results. Participants in the brief mindfulness group showed increased mindfulness, flow, and resilience ( p < 0.001 ) after brief mindfulness training; when putting resilience change (B = 0.30, 95% CI [0.031, 0.564]) into the equation, the direct (95% CI [3.156, 13.583]) and indirect (95% CI [0.470, 5.048]) effects of mindfulness training were both significant. Conclusion. It was concluded that brief mindfulness training could significantly improve athletes’ flow and resilience, and resilience partly mediated the effects of brief mindfulness training on flow.

“…More specifically, mindfulness and psychological resilience negatively affect smartphone addiction, whereas psychological resilience positively affects individuals' mindfulness and significantly mediated the relationship between mindfulness and nomophobia. These findings illustrate the potential of mindfulness-based interventions that may help individuals strengthen their psychological resilience and prevent nomophobia (Arpaci and Gundogan, 2020).…”

Exploring the human factors for mindfulness in mHealth service usage: An Elaboration Likelihood Model

MHealth service is widely accepted as a good path towards healthcare promotion. However, patients’ low-level usage restricted its effectiveness. This work draws upon the elaboration likelihood model and mindfulness theory to investigate the mindfulness mechanism in mHealth service usage, which highlights: First, both perceived information quality and mindfulness positively affect mHealth service usage. Also, perceived information quality is observed to affect the establishment of mindfulness positively. These findings stress that both perceived information quality and mindfulness are essential for mHealth service usage. Second, peer patient influence and physicians’ recommendations positively affect the establishment of mindfulness. These findings stress that human factors are essential for consumers’ establishment of mindfulness. Third, mindfulness mediates the relationship between human factors and mHealth service usage. This phenomenon indicates that when consumers adopt a mHealth service, both peer patient influence and physicians’ recommendations have a positive impact on mHealth service usage indirectly. Fourth, the effects of both peer patient influence and physicians’ recommendations on mindfulness depend on patients’ perceived eHealth literacy levels. This finding illustrates that while peer patient influence is especially crucial for improving mindfulness in a cohort with a high-level perceived eHealth literacy, physicians’ recommendations are especially crucial for improving mindfulness in a cohort with low-level perceived eHealth literacy.

“…Nomophobia, a new type of behavioral addiction, is characterized by feelings of anxiety and restlessness (Arpaci & Gundogan, 2020), and it has been suggested to be listed as a situational phobia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Bragazzi & Puente, 2014). Prior research has shown that materialism is a predictor of anxiety, depression, and psychological disorders in conduct-problem development (O’Guinn & Faber, 1989; for a review, Burroughs & Rindfleisch, 2002; Pieters, 2013) and promotes addictive behaviors, such as internet use (Reto, 2006) and cellphone addiction (Lee et al, 2018).…”

Why do young people from Generation Z (born between 1995 and the mid-2000s) become nomophobic consumers of smartphones? This research aims for a better understanding of nomophobia, the fear of being without mobile phone contact, and this from a cross-national perspective. Data collected from 1,326 young people (aged 16-24) from Brazil, China, France, and the United States demonstrate that nomophobia is positively related to materialism, the value that consumers place on the acquisition of material objects. A structural equation model shows that the different dimensions of materialism do not affect nomophobia uniformly across national identity. Nomophobia is positively related to the happiness dimension (possessions needed for happiness) in Brazil, to the success dimension (possessions as indicators of success) in China, and to the centrality dimension (possessions as central for the self) in France and the United States. These findings have notable implications for practitioners and researchers.
