This study examined mood enhancement effects from 4-week focusing attention (FA) meditation and 4-week open monitoring (OM) meditation in an 8-week mindfulness training program designed for ordinary individuals. Forty participants were randomly assigned to a training group or a control group. All participants were asked to perform cognitive tasks and subjective scale tests at three time points (pre-, mid-, and post-tests). Compared with the participants in the control group, the participants in the meditation training group showed significantly decreased anxiety, depression, and rumination scores; significantly increased mindfulness scores; and significantly reduced reaction times (RTs) in the incongruent condition for the Stroop task. The present study demonstrated that 8-week mindfulness meditation training could effectively enhance the level of mindfulness and improve emotional states. Moreover, FA meditation could partially improve individual levels of mindfulness and effectively improve mood, while OM meditation could further improve individual levels of mindfulness and maintain a positive mood.
本研究在一项为普通人设计的为期8周的正念训练项目中，考察了为期4周的专注注意力（FA）冥想和为期4周的开放监测（OM）冥想对情绪提升的效果。40名参与者被随机分配到训练组或对照组。所有参与者都被要求在三个时间点（测试前、测试中、测试后）进行认知任务和主观量表测试。与对照组的参与者相比，冥想训练组的参与者焦虑、抑郁和反刍分数显著降低；正念分数显著提高；在Stroop任务的不一致条件下反应时间（RTs）显著缩短。本研究表明，为期8周的正念冥想训练可以有效提高正念水平并改善情绪状态。此外，FA冥想可以部分提高个体的正念水平并有效改善情绪，而OM冥想可以进一步提高个体的正念水平并保持积极情绪。
