This article examines the relationship between dispositional mindfulness, health behaviors (eg, sleep, eating, and exercise), and physical health.
Participants included 441 college women.
Women completed self-report surveys at the beginning and end of a 10-week academic quarter. The study was conducted over 5 academic quarters from fall 2008 to fall 2010.
Findings indicated that higher levels of dispositional mindfulness were related to healthier eating practices, better quality of sleep, and better physical health. Dispositional mindfulness contributed to better physical health even after controlling for traditional health habits. Finally, bidirectional mediational relationships were found between healthy eating and dispositional mindfulness as well as between sleep quality and dispositional mindfulness when physical health was the outcome variable.
Findings suggest that incorporating mindfulness training into programming on college campuses may be beneficial, as results indicate that dispositional mindfulness is related to positive physical health among college students.
本文探讨了性格正念、健康行为（如睡眠、饮食和运动）与身体健康之间的关系。
参与者包括 441 名女大学生。
女性在一个 10 周学术季度的开始和结束时完成自我报告调查。该研究从 2008 年秋季到 2010 年秋季进行了 5 个学术季度。
研究结果表明，较高水平的性格正念与更健康的饮食行为、更好的睡眠质量和更好的身体健康有关。即使在控制了传统健康习惯之后，性格正念也有助于更好的身体健康。最后，当身体健康是因变量时，在健康饮食和性格正念之间以及在睡眠质量和性格正念之间发现了双向中介关系。
研究结果表明，将正念训练纳入大学校园的项目中可能是有益的，因为结果表明性格正念与大学生的积极身体健康有关。
