Action crises describe the intra-psychic conflicts people face when deliberating whether to continue pursuing or to give up a goal for which difficulties keep accumulating. Action crises lead to negative consequences such as elevated distress and depression. Less is known about their predictors. We propose mindfulness as a negative predictor of action crises because mindful people should set more autonomous goals and better regulate their emotions. Three prospective studies examined the relation between mindfulness and action crises and explored goal motivation and emotion regulation as mediators (Study 1, = 137 students, mean age 22; Study 2, = 79 students, mean age 24.27; Study 3, = 236 workers, mean age 40.71). Results showed that mindfulness predicts action crises over time and that this relation is mediated by goal motivation and emotion regulation. We discuss how mindfulness can affect action crises in the phases of the Rubicon Model of goal pursuit.
行动危机描述了人们在考虑是继续追求还是放弃一个目标时所面临的内心冲突，这个目标的困难不断积累。行动危机导致了一些负面后果，如焦虑和抑郁的增加。对于其预测因素，人们了解较少。我们提出正念是行动危机的消极预测因素，因为正念的人应该设定更自主的目标，并更好地调节自己的情绪。三项前瞻性研究检验了正念与行动危机之间的关系，并探讨了目标动机和情绪调节作为中介的作用（研究 1，N = 137 名学生，平均年龄 22 岁；研究 2，N = 79 名学生，平均年龄 24.27 岁；研究 3，N = 236 名员工，平均年龄 40.71 岁）。结果表明，正念可以预测未来的行动危机，这种关系受到目标动机和情绪调节的中介作用。我们讨论了正念如何在目标追求的里博模型的各个阶段影响行动危机。
