Numerous studies have shown that mindfulness is positively associated with relationship and sexual satisfaction. However, most have examined the benefits of intrapersonal or trait mindfulness, rather than directly investigating interpersonal mindfulness or considering polyvagal theory. Our main objective was to determine the variable importance of interpersonal mindfulness and psychological safety for relationship and sexual satisfaction using random forests and regression trees and to explore the importance of demographics, social and couple-related factors, and emotional wellbeing in this analysis. 356 adults in committed romantic relationships were recruited for a self-report survey. Results suggested that mindfulness in couple relationships, psychological safety, conflict strategies, and depression symptoms were of top importance for relationship and sexual satisfaction. Limitations and future directions involving dyadic data and physiological measures were discussed. The findings will inform the development of interpersonal mindfulness- and polyvagal-based interventions aimed at promoting safety and stability in relationships while enhancing personal wellbeing.
众多研究表明，正念与人际关系及性满意度呈正相关。然而，大多数研究考察的是个人内在或特质正念的益处，而非直接研究人际正念或考虑迷走神经理论。我们的主要目标是使用随机森林和回归树来确定人际正念和心理安全感对人际关系及性满意度的变量重要性，并在该分析中探讨人口统计学、社会及伴侣相关因素以及情绪健康的重要性。招募了356名处于稳定恋爱关系中的成年人进行自我报告调查。结果表明，伴侣关系中的正念、心理安全感、冲突策略和抑郁症状对人际关系及性满意度最为重要。讨论了涉及二元数据和生理测量的局限性及未来方向。这些发现将为基于人际正念和迷走神经理论的干预措施提供参考，旨在促进人际关系中的安全与稳定，同时提升个人幸福感。
