This study examined the mediating role of cognitive distortions (CDs) in the relationship between dispositional mindfulness (DM) and psychological distress, and considered gender as a potential moderator of these mediation models.
Four hundred and forty-six college students (63.9% female; = 20.52 years; 87.4% undergraduate, 12.6% graduate level) participated.
Self-report measures of DM, CDs, anxiety, depression, and perceived stress were completed with data collected from April to October of 2020.
Females scored significantly higher than males on anxiety, depression, perceived stress, and CDs. CDs partially mediated the relationship between DM and all psychological distress variables. Gender moderated the mediation model predicting anxiety, with the indirect effect of DM on anxiety CDs being stronger for females than males.
Results support CDs as a possible mechanism underlying the association between DM and psychological distress with implications for targeting cognitive patterns in mindfulness-based interventions with college students.
本研究考察了认知歪曲（CDs）在特质正念（DM）与心理困扰关系中的中介作用，并将性别视为这些中介模型的潜在调节变量。
446名大学生参与了研究（63.9%为女性；平均年龄=20.52岁；87.4%为本科生，12.6%为研究生）。
采用自陈式量表测量DM、CDs、焦虑、抑郁和感知压力，数据收集于2020年4月至10月。
女性在焦虑、抑郁、感知压力和CDs上的得分显著高于男性。CDs部分中介了DM与所有心理困扰变量之间的关系。性别调节了预测焦虑的中介模型，DM通过CDs对焦虑的间接效应在女性中比男性更强。
研究结果支持CDs可能是DM与心理困扰之间关联的潜在机制，这对于在针对大学生的正念干预中靶向认知模式具有启示意义。
