This study examined the relationships of mindfulness, a form of focused self-awareness, with physical and psychological health. Mindfulness was measured in terms of four stable forms of awareness: Observe, an awareness of internal and external stimuli; Describe, an ability to verbally express thoughts clearly and easily; Act with Awareness, the tendency to focus on present tasks with undivided attention; and Accept without Judgment, the tendency to take a nonjudgmental attitude toward one's own thoughts and emotions. These aspects of mindfulness were explored in relation to both physical health, which consisted of heart rate variability, a measure of overall cardiovascular health, and psychological health, which consisted of flourishing, existential well-being, negative affect, and social well-being in a sample of 506 undergraduate students. Individuals high in mindfulness showed better cardiovascular health and psychological health.
本研究考察了正念（一种专注的自我意识形式）与身心健康的关系。正念通过四种稳定的意识形式来衡量：观察，对内部和外部刺激的意识；描述，能够清晰、轻松地用言语表达思想的能力；觉察行动，专注于当前任务而不分心的倾向；以及不评判地接纳，对自己的想法和情绪采取非评判态度的倾向。在一个由 506 名本科生组成的样本中，探究了正念的这些方面与身体健康（包括心率变异性，这是衡量整体心血管健康的指标）和心理健康（包括繁荣、存在幸福感、消极情绪和社会幸福感）的关系。正念程度较高的个体表现出更好的心血管健康和心理健康。
