Research on the effectiveness and mechanisms of mindfulness training applied in psychotherapy is still in its infancy (Erisman & Roemer, 2010). For instance, little is known about the extent and processes through which mindfulness practice improves emotion regulation. This experience sampling study assessed the relationship between mindfulness, emotion differentiation, emotion lability, and emotional difficulties. Young adult participants reported their current emotional experiences 6 times per day during 1 week on a PalmPilot device. Based on these reports of emotions, indices of emotional differentiation and emotion lability were composed for negative and positive emotions. Mindfulness was associated with greater emotion differentiation and less emotional difficulties (i.e., emotion lability and self-reported emotion dysregulation). Mediational models indicated that the relationship between mindfulness and emotion lability was mediated by emotion differentiation. Furthermore, emotion regulation mediated the relationship between mindfulness and both negative emotion lability and positive emotion differentiation. This experience sampling study indicates that self-reported levels of mindfulness are related to higher levels of differentiation of one's discrete emotional experiences in a manner reflective of effective emotion regulation.
将正念训练应用于心理治疗的效果和机制的研究还处于起步阶段(Erisman & Roemer, 2010)。例如，对于正念练习如何改善情绪调节，我们知之甚少。这项经验抽样研究评估了正念、情绪区分、情绪不稳定性和情绪困难之间的关系。年轻的成年参与者在一周内每天六次使用 PalmPilot 设备报告他们当前的情绪体验。基于这些情绪报告，为消极情绪和积极情绪组成了情绪区分和情绪不稳定性的指标。正念与更大的情绪区分和更少的情绪困难（即情绪不稳定性和自我报告的情绪失调）有关。中介模型表明，正念与情绪不稳定性之间的关系是由情绪区分介导的。此外，情绪调节中介了正念与消极情绪不稳定性和积极情绪区分之间的关系。这项经验抽样研究表明，自我报告的正念水平与个体离散情绪体验的更高区分度有关，这种区分度反映了有效的情绪调节。
