The pandemic has greatly impacted people's lives and mental health. Therefore, it is now especially important to help people maintain good mental health. The positive effects of mindfulness-based practices on mental health have been demonstrated previously. However, no consensus has yet been reached on the potential mechanisms of mindfulness. This study adopted the two-component model of mindfulness to explain the relationships between fear of COVID-19, and mental health. We proposed the following hypothetical model: (1) fear of COVID-19 could affect orientation to experience; (2) orientation to experience could affect mental health. Directly; (3) fear of COVID-19 could mental health directly; (4) orientation to experience could be a mediator between fear of COVID-19 and mental health.
We conducted an online survey in the present study. Three hundred and forty-four respondents were recruited to participate in the present study. After informed consent, they completed the questionnaires on the websites. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire including the Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Taiwan version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Descriptive analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data and examine the goodness-of-fit indices.
Our results not only showed orientation to experience playing as a mediator between fear of COVID-19 and mental health; but also confirmed the roles of nonjudgment and nonreactivity in regulating emotions.
Experimentation and longitudinal study could be applied to examine the roles of nonjudgment and nonreactivity in the future.
疫情对人们的生活和心理健康产生了巨大影响。因此，当下帮助人们保持良好的心理健康尤为重要。此前已有研究证明基于正念的练习对心理健康有积极作用。然而，对于正念的潜在机制尚未达成共识。本研究采用正念的双成分模型来解释对新冠病毒的恐惧与心理健康之间的关系。我们提出了以下假设模型：（1）对新冠病毒的恐惧会影响体验取向；（2）体验取向会直接影响心理健康；（3）对新冠病毒的恐惧会直接影响心理健康；（4）体验取向可能是对新冠病毒的恐惧与心理健康之间的中介变量。
在本研究中我们开展了一项在线调查。招募了344名受访者参与本研究。在获得知情同意后，他们在网站上完成问卷。要求参与者完成一份问卷，包括贝克抑郁量表第二版、贝克焦虑量表、台湾版五因素正念问卷以及对新冠病毒的恐惧量表。使用描述性分析和结构方程模型对数据进行分析并检验拟合优度指标。
我们的研究结果不仅表明体验取向在对新冠病毒的恐惧与心理健康之间起中介作用，还证实了不评判和不反应在调节情绪中的作用。
未来可通过实验和纵向研究来考察不评判和不反应的作用。
