“…Meditation does not necessarily work in the same way for everyone, and individual characteristics such as well-being, mental health, physical health conditions, lifestyle factors, and psychological traits, should be taken into account as potential sources of variability in the response to meditation (see Buric et al, 2022;Warren et al, 2023). Furthermore, our study revealed age as a predictor of increased trait mindfulness, consistent with previous research findings (Fisher et al, 2022;Hut et al, 2021;Mahlo & Windsor, 2021). This age-related enhancement in mindfulness is likely attributable to the developmental improvement of cognitive and executive functioning associated with age, factors closely linked to higher trait mindfulness (Davidson & Kaszniak, 2015;MacAulay et al, 2022).…”

Objectives Mindfulness and impulsivity traits are considered to be important aspects of mental well-being and health. These traits are often seen as opposing concepts, yet the nature of the relationship between them is unclear, mainly because they are complex to define. The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between impulsivity and mindfulness, taking into account the impact of mindfulness meditation experience on this connection. Method A total of 174 mentally and physically healthy young adults were assigned to either a non-meditation group or a meditation group based on their experience in meditation practices. Participants completed self-report scales to evaluate their impulsivity and mindfulness traits. Results Trait impulsivity scales and dysfunctional impulsivity were negatively correlated with trait mindfulness, while functional impulsivity was positively correlated with trait mindfulness. While meditation practice significantly predicted trait mindfulness, its moderating effect on the relationship between impulsivity and mindfulness was limited. Conclusions The varying relationship between impulsivity subscales and trait mindfulness, together with the relatively limited association between meditation practice and these personality traits, emphasizes the importance of considering different aspects of impulsivity and acknowledging how individual differences affect the relationship between impulsivity and mindfulness. Preregistration This study is not preregistered.

“…30,36 Increased flexibility, defined as being separated from automatic, habitual, and rigid reactions and coping styles, is one of the precursors as well as consequences of high levels of trait mindfulness. 29,37,38 This is related to the process in which an individual becomes aware of options that are consistent with their needs, values, and interests in the present situation and exerts autonomous control over their behavior. 39 Whereas, in the absence of increased flexibility, automatic and habitual patterns of thought and behavior appear, and individuals are more likely to overlook the existence of alternatives consistent with their needs and values.…”

Purpose Mindfulness emerges as a possible means to alleviate obsessive passion. Nevertheless, its application in sport leadership context remains understudied, despite the significant levels of stress and turnover that are common in this profession. This study aims to investigate the relationships among trait mindfulness, obsessive passion, and specific positive (e.g., happiness), neutral (e.g., calmness), and negative (e.g., anger) emotions in high school sport managers. Method In total, 358 high school sport managers ( Mage = 48.47, SD = 8.93) working in 46 states in the United States completed the online questionnaires measuring the proposed variables. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling were utilized to examine the hypotheses. Result The results showed that trait mindfulness negatively predicted obsessive passion. Additionally, obsessive passion negatively predicted the feelings of happiness and calmness, while it positively predicted anger. The mediation analysis revealed that obsessive passion fully mediated the relationships between trait mindfulness and the three types of emotion. Conclusion These findings are significant because they demonstrate the buffering role of trait mindfulness in obsessive passion. Furthermore, the study provides meaningful insights into sport managers’ emotional experiences, particularly by empirically examining the effect of obsessive passion on different emotions.

“…Mindfulness refers to the awareness arising from paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, and without judgment 1 . Over the last decade, a growing body of research has indicated that mindfulness is associated with better psychological functioning, including better emotion regulation 2 , 3 , better life satisfaction 4 , 5 , and fewer affective symptoms 6 , 7 . Of note, the relation between the opposing constructs of mindfulness and mind wandering has received some scientific attention 8 .…”

Previous research suggests that mindfulness and mind wandering are opposing constructs. However, little is known about why and how they are negatively related. Through a process-oriented approach, this cross-sectional study tested self-compassion and grit as mediators for the relation between mindfulness and mind wandering. A total of 487 self-identified meditators were recruited from the UK (241 female, 49.49%). Participants reported a mean age of 38.98 years (SD = 10.03), with an average of 2.26 h of meditation practice per week (SD = 4.47). Upon informed consent, the participants completed a self-report questionnaire that assessed the core variables under study. Path analysis indicated that mindfulness was related to self-compassion. Greater self-compassion was, in turn, related to greater grit, which was then related to lower mind wandering. Bootstrapping analysis further indicated that self-compassion and grit as mediators between mindfulness and mind wandering, above and beyond age, gender, hours of meditation, income, and education as covariates. The cross-sectional findings provided initial evidence of mediation by showing that mindfulness and mind wandering were related through self-compassion and grit.
