Mimo dużej popularności i skuteczności oddziaływań opartych na koncepcjach kognitywno – behawioralnych w pracy z osadzonymi, poszukuje się innowacyjnych interwencji, które ułatwiłyby proces odchodzenia od przestępczości i zmniejszyły odsetek powrotności na drogę przestępstwa.

Despite the great popularity and effectiveness of actions based on cognitive-behavioral approaches in working with inmates, still we are looking for innovative interventions which will facilitate the process of departing from crime and reduce the rate of returning to crime. These new inquiries are specified as third generation/wave of cognitive-behavioral therapies. There are a few, main, empirically established therapeutic methods which belong to this stream, and among them those covered by this article, methods based on mindfulness. The purpose of this elaboration is to present the possibilities and potential benefits of using mindfulness in work with inmates. The article includes a theoretic analysis and a review of research on the effects of such programs in the population of prisoners, pointing out several areas where their application seems to be totally justified and empirically confirmed.

The aim of this article is to present the literature with the purpose of exploring the spiritual elements of mindfulness as they may be integrated into practice. Mindfulness meditation can foster an increased sense of spirituality by disengaging from a narrow self-focus, and engaging a much broader view of interconnectedness in which oneself is not seen as separate from other people and the world. Integrative theoretical framework of self-awareness, -regulation, and -transcendence (S-ART) explains the mechanisms of mindfulness. The proposed framework informs research in the contemplative sciences about definition, typology, structure, function, correlates and dynamics of spirituality, meditation, contemplation and mystical experiences

This paper explores the relationship between solitude and mindfulness. Parallels between the two constructs exist, allowing them to complement each other in furthering the well-being of individuals and communities. Three perspectives through which mindfulness may assist in forming foundational understandings of solitude are presented; these comprise Theoretical, Practice, and Research. The Theoretical lens provides introductory understandings of both solitude and mindfulness. On this basis, integral parallels between the two constructs are outlined. Next, Practice reviews solitude that is fostered through mindfulness practices. Further, additional models for recognising solitude as a part of mindfulness are proposed. Finally, Research summarises a current project that uses biophysical data to investigate mindfulness experienced both alone and together.

W niniejszym artykule samotność jest zgłębiana przez pryzmat uważności (mindfulness). Oba zjawiska – w pewnym sensie podobne do siebie – uzupełniają się wzajemnie w promowaniu dobrostanu jednostek i wspólnot. W tekście zaprezentowano trzy perspektywy, poprzez które uważność może zasilić podstawowe znaczenia samotności: teoretyczną, praktyczną oraz badawczą. Teoretyczna zapewnia wprowadzenie do rozumienia pojęć samotności i uważności; z tej perspektywy zostały integralnie ukazane paralele/podobieństwa między rzeczonymi pojęciami. Praktyczna ujmuje samotność w aspekcie praktykowania uważności, wraz z propozycją dodatkowych modeli rozpoznawania samotności jako części uważności. Perspektywa badawcza stanowi podsumowanie projektu badania uważności doświadczanej samotnie i wspólnotowo z uwzględnieniem biofizycznych danych.

Modern psychology is increasingly interested in phenomena related to the flourishing of a human being, such as mindfulness or emotional intelligence (EI). Mindfulness, according to Kabat-Zinn, is “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment” including the experience of emotions. The most widely studied EI concept was introduced by Salovey and Mayer. They defined it as the ability to monitor emotions and use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. One of the skills involved in EI is the recognition of emotions based on facial expressions. Interestingly, there is no link between self-reported emotional intelligence, measured by a questionnaire, and the ability to recognize facial expressions measured by a task test. Mindful people are more attuned to their implicit emotions and can reflect this awareness in their explicit self--descriptions. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between mindfulness and emotional intelligence, and to examine the moderating role of mindfulness in the relationship between self-reported EI and the ability to recognize facial expressions. The participants were 120 students from different universities of Lublin, Poland, who completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) by Brown and Ryan as translated into Polish by Jankowski, the Schutte Self-Report Inventory as adapted into Polish by Jaworowska and Matczak (Kwestionariusz Inteligencji Emocjonalnej; INTE), and the Emotional Intelligence Scale – Faces (Skala Inteligencji Emocjonalnej – Twarze; SIE-T) developed by Matczak, Piekarska, and Studniarek. The results show a positive relationship of emotional intelligence with mindfulness. A positive correlation was also found between mindfulness and the recognition of emotions, which is a component of EI. There was no correlation between mindfulness and the other EI component – using emotional information to guide one’s thinking and actions. As expected, there was no relationship between self-reported EI and the ability to recognize facial expressions, but – contrary to expectations – mindfulness was not a moderator of this relationship.

In this article, the author discusses the subject of pro-peace education with the use of poetry, and its influence on the mental well-being of children. She indicates Julian Tuwim as one of the Polish trailblazers of the 20th-century trend of mindfulness, which instructs how to establish a harmonious relationship with oneself and the environment. She discusses studies which focus on the methods used when working during school lessons of the Polish language; methods which employ mindful poetry. The author argues that there exists a relationship between internal equanimity and global peace.

Artykuł podejmuje temat uważności jako pojemnego pojęcia funkcjonującego w różnych rejonach kultury i różnych zakresach znaczeniowych. Wskazuję rolę, jaką pełni uważność (mindfulness) w tradycji artystycznej i filozoficznej, a także we współczesnej psychologii rozwoju i kulturze późnego kapitalizmu. Analizuję refleksję nad „praktykowaniem uważności” w twórczości Józefa Czapskiego i Czesława Miłosza. „Dzienniki” Józefa Czapskiego dostarczają bogatego materiału do rekonstrukcji postawy uważności jako kluczowego aspektu egzystencji, działań artystycznych i doświadczeń metafizycznych. Szczególne miejsce w notatkach Czapskiego zajmuje somatyczne ujęcie pracy intelektu i woli. „Praktykowanie uważności” łączy kilka sfer aktywności: intelektualną, duchową, emocjonalną i cielesną. W artykule pragmatyczny aspekt uważności zostaje wyeksponowany przede wszystkim przez umieszczenie go w kręgu problematyki estetyki tworzenia. Zobaczenie uważności w kontekście tradycji „ćwiczeń duchowych” wiedzie ku formule „kultury jako reguły zakonnej” (Ludwik Wittgenstein). Źródłem inspiracji dla współczesnej reinterpretacji idei formowania (Bildung) czy antycznej „troski o siebie” jest publikacja Petera Sloterdijka „Musisz życie swe odmienić. O antropotechnice”. Wykorzystany w niej Rilkeański topos przemiany jest kluczem do koncepcji człowieka i artysty, jaki możemy wyczytać z całego dziedzictwa Józefa Czapskiego.

The article takes up the subject of mindfulness and sees it as a broad concept that functions in various spheres of culture and scopes of meanings. The author points at the role that mindfulness performs in the artistic and philosophical tradition, as well as in the contemporary developmental psychology and late capitalism culture, and also analyses the reflections on “practising mindfulness” in Józef Czapski’s and Czesław Miłosz’s creativity. Czapski’s “Dzienniki” (“Diaries)” offers a rich material for reconstructing the mindfulness stance as a key aspect of existence, artistic creativity and metaphysical experience. A special place in Czapski’s notes is occupied by a somatic approach to the activity of the intellect and the will. “Practising mindfulness” combines several spheres of activity: intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and somatic. In the present article, the pragmatic aspect of mindfulness is prominently displayed in setting it within the domain of issues in aesthetics of creation. Discerning mindfulness in the context of “spiritual exercises” tradition leads to the formula of “culture as a monastic rule” (Ludwig Wittgenstein). A source of inspiration for the contemporary reinterpretation of the idea of forming (Bildung) or ancient “care of oneself” is Peter Sloterdijk’s publication “Du mußt dein Leben ändern” (“You Must Change Your Life).” The Rilkean topos of transformation which it uses is a key to the concept of man and artist that we can infer from the entire Czapski’s heritage.

This article analyses mindfulness as an ascetic and aisthetic practice – a form of perception training largely shaped by strictly Western cultural processes dating back to the late 19th century: modern patterns of perception and habitual regimes, including forms of aesthetic contemplation, which permeate our everyday life – as well as the anaesthetic response to the hypertrophy of the aesthetic. Understood as a training of senses, stemming from the need to experience the sense (meaning) at its fundamental psychophysical level, mindfulness is discussed here as a response to the entire constellation of needs and deficits, overlapping with and specific to Western modernity, including the sense of disembodiment (desomatisation), communication overload, and hyperaestheticisation. From this point of view, mindfulness practices might be recognised both as a refinement of aisthetic experience and a form of sensory asceticism. Without disregarding its Buddhist origins, the text draws attention to the elements of mindfulness ideas and practices that seem to be closely related to the Western cultural context, with a particular focus on (broadly understood) aesthetic ideas of the 20th-century modernism.

Putting the increasingly popular concept of mindfulness in a wider context of slow movement, the article focuses on its representation in the film culture. Developed in the late 20th century, slow cinema is a cross-cultural trend in art cinema film-making that is not only appreciated but also initiated by the viewers themselves, film critics, selectors, and cinema enthusiasts. According to the author, the artificial construct of slow cinema emerged from the need to experience the so-called secular epiphany, a phenomenon that as of yet hasn’t been thoroughly studied. To capture this post-secular potential of slow cinema, she refers to the concept of mindfulness (or awareness) analysed here both with respect to Jon Kabat-Zinn’s functional definition of mindfulness and the original Buddhist concept of sati (as updated in terms of its epistemological and soteriological sense). The hypothetical usefulness of the concept of mindfulness is verified in the process of interpreting three films included among the classics of slow cinema: Werckmeister Harmonies (2000) by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky, Birdsong (2008) by Albert Serra, and Outside Satan (2011) by Bruno Dumont.

Information and communication technology are promising channels in delivering the mindful-ness-based intervention. A common problem in these interventions is the lack of study of treat-ment adherence. The current article summarizes the state of measuring and reporting adherence, the rate of adherence, and possible predictors of adherence in the form of a systematic review following the PRISMA statement. A database search of PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Scopus, and PsychINFO identified 3104 poten-tially relevant articles published up to the end of December 2019. The review focuses only on the SARS-CoV-2 pre-pandemic time because the accelerated development of the eHealth Mind-fulness-based interventions and a vast amount of newly published interventions in the follow-ing years was expected. A total of 69 studies met all the eligibility criteria. Out of these studies, 61% reported some measure of adherence and 36% reported the adherence rate. The adherence rate in clinical populations ranged from 41% to 92%; in non-clinical populations, it ranged from 1% to 85%. Predictors of adherence were inves-tigated in 48% of the studies; however, the ma-jority of assessed variables had mixed findings about predicting adherence. There was a huge variety in the definitions and measurements of adherence. A standardized system of measuring and reporting adherence and further investiga-tion of its predictors is needed.

Informační a komunikační technologie předsta-vují nové a slibné kanály, jak lze k uživatelům doručit intervence založené na Mindfulness pří-stupu. Běžným problémem v této oblasti apliko-vaného výzkumu je nedostatek evidence o adhe-renci ke zmíněným programům. Aktuální článek ve formě systematické review podle PRISMA protokolu shrnuje informace o tom, jaká je ad-herence k intervencím ve studiích zabývajících se eHealth Mindfulness programy, jak je adhe-rence měřena a co jsou její možné prediktory. V databázích PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Scopus a PsychINFO bylo do konce roku 2019 identifikováno 3104 potenciálně relevantních článků. Vzhledem k očekávanému nárůstu im-plementace eHealth programů na podporu du-ševního zdraví pro zdravou i klinickou populaci v důsledku pandemie SARS-CoV-2, se stávající review zabývala jen studiemi před začátkem pandemie. 69 z nich splnilo všechna vstupní kri-téria pro systematickou review. 61 % studií ve svých výsledcích prezentovalo různé parametry adherence, 36 % pak prezentovalo základní tzv. adherence rate. Míra adherence v klinických populacích se pohybovala od 41 % do 92 %; v neklinických populacích se pohybovala od 1 % do 85 %. Prediktory adherence byly zkoumány ve 48 % studií, většina hodnocených proměn-ných však přinesla značně heterogenní výsled-ky. Velká heterogenita byla pozorována také v samotné definici adherence a ve způsobech a nástrojích jejího měření. Aktuální systematická review jednoznačně dokládá potřebu standardi-zovaného systému měření adherence a dalšího výzkumu v oblasti jejích prediktorů.

The scale of the cyberbullying problem is big and disturbing. Attempts are being made to eliminate and reduce this issue by seeking effective preventive solutions. Based on her analysis of the literature on mindfulness, the author points to the enormous potential of mindfulness-based programs in preventing cyberbullying threats. Numerous studies confirm that the practice of mindfulness is an effective program in the fight against stress, pain, and even illness; it improves mental and physical well-being. Mindfulness practitioners become more compassionate, milder, empathetic, they cope better with difficult situations, use positive thinking and behavior patterns, achieve calmness and confidence, and make positive changes in interpersonal relationships.

The objective of this study is to validate the Polish adaptation of the Short Form of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-SF; Bohlmeijer, Klooster, Fledderus, Veehof, & Baer) – a 24-item inventory measuring mindfulness in daily life – in a Polish sample. The psychometric properties of the Polish version were assessed in a sample of 885 individuals: 710 meditation-naïve and 175 meditation-advanced ones. The following psychometric properties were examined: reliability (internal consistency, temporal stability, discriminant validity), internal validity (confirmatory factor analyses), and convergent validity (correlation between the five FFMQ facets and neuroticism, emotional stability, rumination, openness to experience, ego strength, extraversion, and reflection). The results confirmed the reliability (internal consistency, temporal stability, discriminant validity), internal validity (the orthogonal 5-factor model), and convergent validity of the Polish adaptation in a nonclinical meditation-naïve and meditation-advanced population aged 15-63. The FFMQ-SF proved to be an effective instrument for measuring mindfulness in nonclinical meditation-naïve and meditation-experienced Polish samples. Further replications in clinical samples are needed.

Aim. The paper aims to investigate the students interactions engaged in mindful tasks in an English reading classroom. It attempts to explore whether there is any connection between being mindful and having a good interaction. Methods. For the research a case study approach was utilised, in which eight BA students majoring in English language and literature at the University of Mazandaran participated. They were divided into two groups of non-mindful and less mindful, each having four members based on their scores from Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The data was collected in three sessions of critical reading practice, in which both groups were engaged in different forms of critical reading tasks. The less mindful group was encouraged to engage in some mindful activities prior to the critical reading tasks. All the sessions were video recorded and then transcribed for analysis. The transcribed data were analysed by the researcher and a second rater. Results. The results of the data analysis demonstrated that there were some minor differences in interactions of non-mindful and less-mindful group in critical reading tasks. The less-mindful group seemed to have more interactions than the non-mindful one. Conclusions. Due to the study limitations the results cannot be generalised. Originality. Mindfulness is a fairly new concept in English language teaching which is attracting attention as an alternative to promote learning. However, within the context of education, there have also been a select few studies that have focused on the benefits of mindfulness in English reading classrooms.

Problem: The aim of the present study was to adapt the English self-report questionnaire Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaure (FFMQ - Baer et al., 2006) to Slovak conditions as well as to evaluate its psychometric properties and to investigate its 5-factor structure reported by the authors. FFMQ is used to measure the construct of mindfulness and its 5 facets identified by the authors (i.e. observing inner experience, describing inner experience, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience). Methods: After having done a back-translation in cooperation with the author of FFMQ, we evaluated its reliability and construct validity within the sample of 282 university female students and via the instruments used to measure perceived emotional intelligence (TMMS; Trait Meta-Mood Scale - Salovey et al., 1995), trait anxiety (STAI X-2; Stait-Trait Anxiety Inventory - Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, 1970), alexithymia (TAS-20; Toronto Alexithymia Scale - Taylor, Bagby, Parker, 1992) and difficulties in emotion regulation (DERS; Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Gratz, Roemer, 2012). Statistical analysis: The structure of FFMQ questionnaire was examined via exploratory factor analysis (principal component, rotation oblimin). Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to test relationships between FFMQ scale and instruments used to measure related constructs. Cronbach coefficients alpha were calculated to assess internal consistency aspect of reliability of FFMQ scale and its subscales. Results: It has been shown, that FFMQ represents a reliable and valid instrument. The results of EFA indicated that there are five factors in the structure of the Slovak version of FFMQ. Study limitation: (a) measurement of mindfulness is self-reported; (b) the findings are limited to a sample of university female students.

The study aimed to expand knowledge of the relationship between mindfulness trait and coping styles in stressful situations, taking into account gender differences. Based on previous research findings, it was expected that mindfulness would be positively associated with Active Coping and Seeking Support styles and negatively associated with Avoidant Coping and Helplessness styles. In addition, differences in levels of mindfulness and coping styles were expected between women and men, as well as a moderating effect of gender on the relationship between mindfulness and coping styles. The study included 259 participants. The Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory in the short version and the Mini-CO PE Inventory were used. A positive correlation was observed between the level of mindfulness and strategies from the Active coping group. A negative correlation between mindfulness and Helplessness strategies was also found. The results also showed that women had significantly lower levels of the mindfulness trait and a greater tendency to use the Support Seeking, Avoidant Behavior, and Helplessness styles than men. In addition, women with higher mindfulness had a lower tendency to use the Helplessness style, while this relationship was not significant for men. The study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between mindfulness and stress coping by gender.
