With research on mindfulness increasing exponentially, it is important to clarify factors that may influence the success of this approach. We examined the construct of mindfulness meditation practice quality using longitudinal data drawn from a randomized controlled trial testing low-dose mindfulness practices with novice mindfulness practitioners from the general population ( = 48). Results suggest that increases in mindfulness practice quality over time are associated with improvements in psychological outcomes (anxiety, stress, and mindfulness), but not vice versa. Findings join previous research supporting the notion that mindfulness practice quality is an important element of mindfulness training in higher-dose programs as well as low-dose and self-help mindfulness programs and practices. Therefore, this research contributes to finding further support of the importance of mindfulness practice quality as a cause of improvement in psychological distress. This needs to be explored further in future research.
随着正念研究呈指数级增长，明确可能影响这种方法成功的因素非常重要。我们使用了一项随机对照试验中的纵向数据，对正念冥想练习质量的结构进行了研究，该试验对来自普通人群的新手正念练习者（n = 48）进行低剂量正念练习测试。结果表明，随着时间的推移，正念练习质量的提高与心理结果（焦虑、压力和正念）的改善相关，但反之则不然。这些发现与之前的研究一致，支持了正念练习质量是高剂量项目以及低剂量和自助正念项目与练习中正念训练的重要元素这一观点。因此，本研究有助于进一步支持正念练习质量作为心理困扰改善原因的重要性。这需要在未来的研究中进一步探索。
