This study evaluated associations between general (negative affectivity) and specific (anxiety sensitivity) factors that may relate to the mindfulness skill domains assessed by the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills. Participants were 154 young adults (88 females; M(age) = 22.4 years, SD = 7.9) recruited from the community. Partially consistent with predictions, higher levels of negative affectivity were significantly associated with lower levels of Awareness, Acceptance, and Describe mindfulness skills, and higher levels of anxiety sensitivity were significantly associated with lower levels of Awareness and Acceptance mindfulness skills. Additionally, negative affectivity and anxiety sensitivity each demonstrated unique relations to participants' ability to experience the present state without evaluating or judging its content (Accept factor), after accounting for their shared variance, but only anxiety sensitivity demonstrated a unique association to the Act with Awareness factor independent of variance explained by negative affectivity. Findings are discussed in relation to theory and research on mindfulness processes.
本研究评估了可能与肯塔基正念技能量表所评估的正念技能领域相关的一般因素（消极情感性）和特定因素（焦虑敏感性）之间的关联。参与者为从社区招募的154名年轻成年人（88名女性；年龄均值 = 22.4岁，标准差 = 7.9）。部分符合预测结果的是，较高水平的消极情感性与较低水平的觉察、接纳和描述正念技能显著相关，较高水平的焦虑敏感性与较低水平的觉察和接纳正念技能显著相关。此外，在考虑了消极情感性和焦虑敏感性的共同方差后，二者各自都与参与者在不评估或判断当下状态内容的情况下体验当下状态的能力（接纳因子）呈现出独特的关系，但只有焦虑敏感性与带着觉察行动因子呈现出独立于消极情感性所解释方差的独特关联。研究结果将结合正念过程的理论与研究进行讨论。
