We proposed an integration hypothesis of mind wandering in which the tendency of mind wandering is only related to working memory capacity (WMC) when a self-regulation process is required (i.e., under a high task load); however, this tendency is related to mindfulness regardless of task load. A within-group experiment with 160 participants was conducted. Task load was manipulated as high or low using modified 0-back and 2-back tasks, during which participants' self-caught mind wanderings and the types of mind wandering (aware vs. unaware; intentional vs. unintentional) were measured. The results supported our hypothesis that WMC was negatively associated with mind wandering only in demanding tasks, and mindfulness scores were negatively associated with mind wandering across tasks. Furthermore, we also determined how WMC and the mindfulness trait were related to different types of mind wandering. Theoretical implications were discussed.
我们提出了一个关于思维游离的综合假设，即只有在需要自我调节过程（即高任务负荷下）时，思维游离的倾向才与工作记忆容量（WMC）有关；然而，这种倾向与正念有关，而与任务负荷无关。我们进行了一项有 160 名参与者的组内实验。使用修改后的 0 回和 2 回任务来操纵任务负荷，在此期间测量了参与者的自我捕捉的思维游离和思维游离的类型（有意识与无意识；有意与无意）。结果支持了我们的假设，即只有在高要求的任务中，WMC 才与思维游离呈负相关，而正念分数与跨任务的思维游离呈负相关。此外，我们还确定了 WMC 和正念特质与不同类型的思维游离的关系。讨论了理论意义。
