The current study proposes a mindfulness model of trait resilience through the mediating roles of positive affection and cognitive flexibility. The study’s participants comprised 204 adults (111 females, 93 males). The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003), Positive Affect sub-test of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clerk, & Tellegen, 1988), Cognitive Flexibility Scale (Martin & Rubin, 1995) and Brief Resilience Scale (Smith et al., 2008) were used as data collection instruments. The results of the path analysis showed that mindfulness has significantly positive relationships with positive affection and cognitive flexibility, while both positive affection and cognitive flexibility have significantly positive relationships with resilience. The proposed model formed was found to account for 17% of the variance in trait resilience scores of participants.

The goal of the current study was to explore the possible effect of a short mindfulness meditation on decreasing a tendency for miserly processing and degree of myside bias. The author ś sample consisted of 76 students that were assigned into three groups: one with short mindfulness intervention and two control groups (one was given a lecture on cognitive biases and second group was given mind-wandering instruction). The groups did not significantly differ in any of the measured variables (with one minor exception). The results indicate that short-term mindfulness induction was unsuccessful in changing the proclivity for cognitive biases, contrary to what the author predicted.

The study aims to determine if mindfulness and the Fifth Factor of personality traits significantly predict humour styles. The participants of the study were a total of 502 undergraduate students, 300 (59.8%) female and 202 (40.2%) male. Humour Styles Questionnaire (HSQ), Adjective Based Personality Test (ABPT) and The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used in order to collect the data of the study. Pearson’s Product Moments correlation technique and multiple regression analysis were employed for the statistical analysis. The findings of the study show that mindfulness and the Fifth Factor of personality traits significantly predict the sub-dimensions of humour styles.

There is some evidence that individual characteristics like Type A and high reactivity can be risk factors of alleviated stress. The aim of the first, longitudinal study was to predict perceived job stressors in a sample of 126 managers depending on Type A and reactivity level. The results showed that reactivity, not Type A, was a direct, positive predictor of perceived job stressors. The interaction of Type A and reactivity was marginally significant in predicting occupational stressors. High reactive Type A workers perceived higher level of job stressors than low reactive Type As. In the second, experimental study the changes in perceptions of job stressors due to mindfulness-based cognitive stress management intervention were examined in 150 managers matched by reactivity level (high or low) and Type A/B. In the experimental group, which participated in the intervention, the perceived level of job stressors decreased significantly in comparison with the control group, which did not take part in the intervention. Additionally, it was showed that the greatest decrease occurred in the group of high reactive workers who participated in the intervention. The role of Type A, reactivity and their interaction in predicting and managing occupational stress is discussed.

Our aesthetic practices, by which we aim for better well-being, are intertwined with fostering sustainability. This article focuses on Yuriko Saito’s aesthetics of sustainability, an idea denoting a new kind of aesthetic sensibility informed by and featuring both environmental and cultural sustainability. Saito’s idea is based on our aesthetic relationship with everyday experiences. In this article, I defend the idea, on the one hand, by considering the immanence of change as a sense of contemporary everydayness and, on the other hand, by regarding mindfulness as a practice. Situating the discussion in the European context emphasises the aesthetics of sustainability as a sustainability transformation, that is, an ongoing societal change powered by the continuous cultivation of aesthetic sensibility.

When people vest a position with moral conviction, that is, a sense that the position is grounded in fundamental right or wrong, good or bad, they tend to be particularly intolerant of those who disagree. Psychological states that mitigate or augment the effect of moral conviction on tolerance are lesser known. The present research investigated the immediate consequences of mindfulness and mindlessness (cognitive depletion) on the relationship between moral conviction and preferred social distance. Consistent with hypotheses, moral conviction did not predict preferred social distance in a mindfulness condition (mindfulness meditation), predicted greater preferred social distance in a mindlessness condition (cognitive depletion), and predicted marginally greater preferred social distance in a control condition (no manipulation). Findings suggest that adopting mindful orientation toward people with different moral views may foster acceptance, while adopting a mindless orientation may foster greater intolerance.

The goal of this study was to test the mediating role of body responsiveness (body awareness and body disconnection) and negative mood states (depression, anxiety, and stress) in the relationship of self-compassion and trait mindfulness to life satisfaction. A total of 792 participants (669 females, 123 males) participated in the study. The results yielded that mindfulness and self-compassion have significantly negative relationships with negative mood states and perceived disconnection, while they have a significantly positive relationship with the importance of interoceptive awareness. Self-compassion and importance of interoceptive awareness were found to be significantly and positively related to life satisfaction, while negative mood states had a significantly negative relationship with life satisfaction. The re-arranged model accounted for a 26% variance in life satisfaction scores of participants. These findings imply that cultivation of mindfulness and self-compassion may enhance body responsiveness and diminish the negative mood states that in turn promote life satisfaction.

Facebook addiction is a growing issue that has increasingly attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers in a variety of countries and cultures. Relying on the Cognitive-Behavioural Model for Pathological Internet Use, and in a sample of Turkish undergraduates, we investigate whether mindfulness might account for how self-esteem and psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and stress) connect to Facebook addiction. A total of 298 college students completed measures of Facebook addiction, self-esteem, mindfulness and psychological problems, which we analysed using path analysis, testing various models of show Facebook addiction might be predicted by these factors. We found that Facebook addiction was positively associated with psychological problems and negatively associated with self-esteem and mindfulness, with mindfulness fully accounting for the association between psychological problems, self-esteem and Facebook addiction. These results support the role of mindfulness in the prevention of Facebook addiction and the treatment of addicted individuals. This study also helps clarify previous research connecting mindfulness to Internet addiction, and extends those findings cross-culturally to a Turkish context.

Having gathered data from 341 participants (210 females and 131 males) over the age of 18, we investigated the predictive role of mindfulness, self-compassion, and caring for bliss in life satisfaction, controlled by perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of a confirmatory factor analysis acknowledged the single-factor structure of the Caring for Bliss Scale adapted within the scope of this study. The mean life satisfaction scores indicated that the sample was “displeased with the life” in the midst of the pandemic. In addition, the results of a hierarchical regression showed that, after controlling for perceived stress, mindfulness, caring for bliss, and self-compassion respectively explain a significant variance of life satisfaction scores during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed hierarchical model was found to account for 35% of variance in the life satisfaction levels of the participants across the relevant period. The results indicate that the Caring for Bliss Scale is a valid and reliable instrument to be used in Turkish culture. In addition, mindfulness, self-compassion, and caring for bliss could be accepted as possible protective factors to be cultivated in order to enhance life satisfaction during the pandemic.
