“…Several studies have reported that dispositional mindfulness can act as a moderator to the relationship between social factors and well-being. For example, the positive relationship between perceived social support and well-being is promoted by dispositional mindfulness (Stallman et al, 2018). Furthermore, dispositional mindfulness can be seen as a moderator for the relationship between income and well-being (Sugiura and Sugiura, 2018).…”

The present study was conducted to examine how dispositional mindfulness and living conditions are related to well-being among first-year university students in Japan. Participants were 262 Japanese first-year students (156 females and 106 males; M age = 18.77 years, SD age = 0.85). Dispositional mindfulness was measured using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and living condition was operationalized as living at home or living alone after having left their home. Hierarchical multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze whether the factors of living condition and dispositional mindfulness had predictive effects on well-being. The results showed that dispositional mindfulness positively correlated with well-being in first-year university students; however, living condition had no significant correlation. On the other hand, the interaction between living condition and dispositional mindfulness significantly correlated with well-being. Simple slope analysis revealed that higher levels of dispositional mindfulness had a protective effect in the relationship between living condition and wellbeing. These results suggest that an intervention to promote dispositional mindfulness could be effective in protecting the well-being of first-year university students, especially for those who have left their home and are living alone. Further research will be necessary to examine, longitudinally, how mental health changes depending on the level of dispositional mindfulness of first-year university students.

“…This likely reflects the habitual nature of coping strategies (MacNair & Elliott, 1992;Shewchuk, Elliott, MacNair-Semands, & Harkins, 1999). The app may have prompted participants to use healthy coping strategies at times, which are associated with both wellbeing (Bakker et al, 2016;Stallman et al, 2018b) and lower distress (Stallman et al, 2017) and increased their confidence in coping (Bakker et al, 2016). The relatively short period to follow-up (1 month) and the difficulty and time needed to make long-term habitual behavioural changes in coping strategies may explain the negligible effect size on the Coping Index measure.…”

“…The Coping Planning approach to health and wellbeing normalises unpleasant emotions and coping (Stallman, 2018) as universal human experiences, both for those with and without mental illness. In addition to promoting personal healthy coping strategies (Sinha, Lacadie, Constable, & Seo, 2016;Stallman, Ohan, & Cheira, 2017;Stallman, Ohan, & Chiera, 2018b), the approach encourages professional help-seeking as a healthy coping strategy when personal coping strategies are ineffective. Used in an online skills-building programme, this approach has been shown to be effective in reducing distress and improving wellbeing in university students in the lead-up to exams (Stallman, Ohan, & Chiera, 2018a).…”

“…Siendo, por lo tanto, una atención desnuda, flexible y receptiva a lo que se experimenta en el presente (Baldini, Nelson, Parker, & Siegel, 2014). Precede a la interpretación (Epel et al, 2015) y es opuesta a una posición de hipervigilancia (Chiera, Ohan, & Stallman, 2017), requiriendo un estado interno de seguridad que permita pasar de un estado reactivo, a uno de receptividad (Epel et al, 2015) en que la mente se haya libre de conceptos (Kabat-Zinn, 2004), vacía, abierta y no-dual, como mente de principiante (Bradford, 2007). Por lo tanto, no tiene centro ni periferia y se asemeja a la estructura sin fronteras del universo (Kabat-Zinn, 2004).…”

En la meditación zen, un componente importante de la práctica es el fenómeno de la conciencia del momento presente. Presencia puede ser entendida como una experiencia de conciencia encarnada en el aquí y ahora. Sobre este objeto de estudio, la investigación ha hecho un abordaje empírico con énfasis en la tercera persona, en desmedro de su estudio subjetivo. El principal objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar la experiencia de presencia en meditadores zen durante la práctica meditativa. Se utilizó el método de entrevista micro-fenomenológica para recopilar información sobre la experiencia subjetiva de presencia en meditadores. Para analizar los datos, se aplicó el método de fenomenología trascendental de Moustakas, lo que permitió encontrar la estructura invariante del fenómeno de estudio. Esta investigación encontró que la esencia de la experiencia de presencia de los meditadores zen se caracteriza por la sensación de mantener un contacto puro con la realidad, que origina un cambio en la percepción del sí mismo, los otros y el mundo circundante. Finalmente, se discute que los resultados permiten concebir la meditación como una experiencia subjetiva de carácter corporizado y de ser-en-el-mundo, elementos que están abiertos al contexto intersubjetivo. Esta perspectiva abre una interpretación de la meditación bajo un enfoque encarnado y relacional.
