The nature and potential benefit of awareness and experiential acceptance in adolescence remains neglected and understudied. To address this gap in the literature, 776 students (50% female) in Grade 10 completed measures of mindfulness, emotional awareness, and experiential acceptance, as well as measures of major personality traits. To study prospective changes, assessments of emotional well-being were completed across a 1-year interval. Analyses revealed that "Acting with Awareness" (engaging fully in one's current activity with undivided attention), emotional awareness, and experiential acceptance where all linked to prosocial tendencies and uniquely predicted increases in well-being across the year. Observing experience (noticing, observing, and attending to a variety of stimuli) was correlated with positive and negative aspects of personality and did not predict changes in well-being. We discuss the implications for understanding awareness and acceptance in youth.
青少年的意识和体验接受的性质和潜在益处仍然被忽视和研究不足。为了弥补这一文献空白，10 年级的 776 名学生（50%为女性）完成了正念、情绪意识和体验接受的测量，以及主要人格特质的测量。为了研究前瞻性变化，在一年的时间间隔内完成了情绪幸福感的评估。分析显示，“带着意识行动”（全神贯注于当前的活动，不分心）、情绪意识和体验接受都与亲社会倾向有关，并且可以独特地预测一年中幸福感的提高。观察体验（注意、观察和关注各种刺激）与人格的积极和消极方面相关，并且不能预测幸福感的变化。我们讨论了这对理解青少年的意识和接受的意义。
