“…We can also explain this result from the perspective of self‐esteem. Numerous studies have found that mindfulness can positively predict self‐esteem (Bajaj, Robins & Pande, ; Pepping, O’Donovan & Davis, ; Randal, Pratt & Bucci, ; Sang, ). Moreover, previous studies have found that self‐esteem can negatively predict malicious envy (Vrabel, Zeigler‐Hill & Southard, ).…”

W. (2020). How mindfulness affects benign and malicious envy from the perspective of the mindfulness reperceiving model. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 61, 436-442.At present, mindfulness is a hotspot in psychological research. Mindfulness is an effective tool that enables people to effectively inhibit negative emotions. Previous studies have shown that envy is a typical negative emotion; however, envy can be divided into two completely different types: benign envy and malicious envy. The question then arises, how does mindfulness affect both types of envy? Using a mindfulness reperceiving model, we explored the effect of mindfulness on these two different types of envy and on the mediating mechanism of psychological resilience. To accomplish this, we recruited 676 Chinese undergraduates to complete the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Benign and Malicious Envy Scale (BEMAS) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results we obtained showed that mindfulness and psychological resilience significantly and negatively predicted malicious envy and that psychological resilience played a partially mediating role in the relationship. In addition, the results showed that there was no significant effect between mindfulness and benign envy; however, psychological resilience can significantly and positively predict benign envy and played a completely mediating role between mindfulness and benign envy. These results effectively extend theories based on the mindfulness reperceiving model while also being important for promoting benign envy and inhibiting malicious envy in terms of improving mindfulness and psychological resilience.

“…Individuals higher in dispositional mindfulness fare better on a variety of psychosocial outcomes than their less mindful counterparts (Brown & Ryan, ; Keng et al., ). Dispositional mindfulness is associated with greater life‐satisfaction and self‐esteem (Pepping, O'Donovan, & Davis, ). In contrast, lower dispositional mindfulness is associated with depression and anxiety (Brown & Ryan, ), neuroticism (Brown & Ryan, ), dissociation (Baer, Fischer, & Huss, ), insecure attachment (Pepping, O'Donovan, & Davis, in press), negative affect (Brown & Ryan, ), and difficulties in emotion regulation (Baer, Smith, Hopkins, Krietemeyer, & Toney, ).…”

Emotion regulation deficits are implicated in many forms of psychosocial distress. The aim of the present research was to investigate whether emotion regulation was the process underlying the well-established association between low dispositional mindfulness and greater psychosocial distress. Two studies are presented that examined whether non-acceptance of emotion and limited access to emotion regulation strategies were the processes underlying the association between low mindfulness and depression, anxiety, stress, general psychological symptoms, interpersonal distress, and social role difficulties in a student sample (Study 1) and a clinical sample (Study 2). In Study 1, there were indirect effects of mindfulness and symptom distress, depression, anxiety, stress, and social role difficulties through non-acceptance of emotions. There were indirect associations between mindfulness and symptom distress, interpersonal distress, social role difficulties, depression, anxiety, and stress through lack of access to emotion regulation strategies. In Study 2, there were indirect associations between mindfulness and psychological symptom distress, interpersonal distress, depression, anxiety, and stress through lack of access to emotion regulation strategies. In brief, emotion regulation difficulties are, at least in part, the process underlying the association of low dispositional mindfulness and psychosocial distress.

“…Thus, considering the robust relation between self-esteem and resilience (Arslan, 2015;Fontaine et al, 2017;Karatas & Cakar, 2011;Martínez-Martí, & Ruch, 2017) and between self-esteem and stress (Bi et al, 2016;Mann et al, 2004) and the important role of mindfulness in self-esteem (Brown & Ryan, 2003;Pepping et al, 2013), it is hypothesized that self-esteem mediates the relation of mindfulness to resilience and stress. Thus, mindfulness would predict increased levels of self-esteem, which would, in turn, predict enhanced resilience and reduced stress levels.…”
