This research investigated the effect of dispositional mindfulness on the reduction of sexual prejudice and internalized sexual stigma in heterosexual and lesbian/bisexual women, who still represent a population that is under-represented in the scientific literature. Participants were 203 Italian women, both heterosexual ( = 104, 51.2%) and lesbian/bisexual (= 99, 48.8%), ranging between 18 and 68 years old. They responded to a questionnaire containing demographic information and measures of dispositional mindfulness, need for cognitive closure, and adherence to traditional gender roles. Dominance analyses were run to test the predictive power of mindfulness' dimensions on internalized sexual stigma and on sexual prejudice over and above the other predictors. Results showed that having a mindful nonjudging attitude toward one's inner experience is associated with less internalized sexual stigma in lesbian and bisexual women. On the contrary, dispositional mindfulness was not associated with heterosexual women's sexual prejudice against gay and lesbian individuals.
本研究调查了特质正念对减少异性恋和女同性恋/双性恋女性的性偏见和内化性耻辱感的影响，这些女性在科学文献中仍然是代表性不足的人群。参与者为203名意大利女性，包括异性恋者（n = 104，51.2%）和女同性恋/双性恋者（n = 99，48.8%），年龄在18至68岁之间。她们回答了一份包含人口统计学信息以及特质正念、认知闭合需求和对传统性别角色的认同度测量的问卷。进行了优势分析，以检验正念维度相对于其他预测因素对内化性耻辱感和性偏见的预测能力。结果表明，对自己的内心体验持有正念的非评判态度与女同性恋和双性恋女性较少的内化性耻辱感相关。相反，特质正念与异性恋女性对男同性恋和女同性恋者的性偏见无关。
