The present study investigated the sustained effects of a 5-week EmotionCore mindfulness training program on emotion regulation, emotional intelligence (EI), trait mindfulness, depression, and anxiety among 120 undergraduates, while exploring the mediating mechanisms of training effect and heterogeneous effects across subgroups.
Participants were randomly assigned to a mindfulness group (n=60) or a waitlist control group (n=60), with assessments conducted at baseline (T1), post-training (T2), and one-month follow-up (T3).
Results demonstrated that mindfulness training significantly enhanced adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (ACERSs), EI, and trait mindfulness at both T2 and T3. Both cross-section and longitudinal mediation models revealed that improvements in ACERSs and EI fully and sequentially mediated the relationship between mindfulness training and trait mindfulness enhancement. Latent Profile Analysis revealed that the high-risk group (high baseline anxiety/depression) exhibited greater reductions in anxiety and depression at T2 and T3 compared to the low-risk group.
These findings suggest EmotionCore mindfulness training fosters trait mindfulness through improvements in ACERSs and EI, and its targeted efficacy is specifically notable within high-risk populations.
本研究调查了一项为期5周的情绪核心正念训练计划对120名本科生情绪调节、情商（EI）、特质正念、抑郁和焦虑的持续影响，同时探讨了训练效果的中介机制以及各亚组的异质性影响。
参与者被随机分为正念组（n = 60）或等待列表对照组（n = 60），在基线（T1）、训练后（T2）和1个月随访（T3）时进行评估。
结果表明，正念训练在T2和T3时显著增强了适应性认知情绪调节策略（ACERSs）、EI和特质正念。横断面和纵向中介模型均显示，ACERSs和EI的改善完全且依次介导了正念训练与特质正念增强之间的关系。潜在剖面分析显示，高风险组（基线焦虑/抑郁水平高）在T2和T3时焦虑和抑郁的降低幅度比低风险组更大。
这些发现表明，情绪核心正念训练通过改善ACERSs和EI来培养特质正念，并且其针对性疗效在高风险人群中尤为显著。
