Experiential acceptance-an orientation of receptivity and noninterference with present-moment experiences-is described as central to mindfulness interventions, yet little experimental work has tested acceptance as a mechanism for mindfulness intervention effects. Guided by Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT), this review situates acceptance as an emotion regulation mechanism and reviews self-report mindfulness literature showing that attention monitoring skills are only associated with beneficial mental and physical health outcomes when accompanied by acceptance skills. New experimental dismantling work shows that removing acceptance training from mindfulness interventions reduces their efficacy for improving stress, positive emotion, and social relationship outcomes. Overall, converging evidence demonstrates that acceptance is a critical emotion regulation mechanism of mindfulness interventions. This work advances basic research, has translational value, and offers opportunities for future research.
体验接纳——一种对当下体验的接受和不干预的取向——被描述为正念干预的核心，但很少有实验工作测试接纳作为正念干预效果的机制。本综述以监测和接纳理论（MAT）为指导，将接纳作为一种情绪调节机制，并回顾了自我报告的正念文献，表明只有当注意监测技能伴随着接纳技能时，它们才与有益的心理和身体健康结果相关。新的实验分解工作表明，从正念干预中去除接纳训练会降低它们改善压力、积极情绪和社会关系结果的效果。总的来说，一致的证据表明，接纳是正念干预的一个关键情绪调节机制。这项工作推进了基础研究，具有转化价值，并为未来的研究提供了机会。
