儿童心理健康的一个重要方面是情绪弹性：适应压力和情绪挑战并从中恢复的能力。特质正念的变化，一个人以开放和不评判的态度对待经验的倾向，可能是儿童支持情绪弹性的重要个体差异。在这项研究中，我们调查了在美国COVID-19大流行期间，特质正念是否与应对教育和家庭生活压力变化的情绪弹性有关。我们进行了一项相关性研究，检查了2020年7月至2021年2月期间来自163名8至10岁美国儿童的自我报告数据。特质正念得分越高，儿童的压力、焦虑、抑郁和负面情绪越少，COVID-19对他们生活的影响也越低。正念调节了COVID-19对儿童的影响和负面影响之间的关系。在正念方面得分高的儿童显示，COVID-19的影响与负面影响之间没有相关性，而那些在正念方面得分低的儿童则显示，COVID-19的影响与负面影响之间呈正相关。更高水平的特质正念可能有助于儿童更好地科普各种COVID-19压力源。未来的研究应该调查特质正念支持儿童情绪弹性的机制。
An important aspect of mental health in children is emotional resilience: the capacity to adapt to, and recover from, stressors and emotional challenges. Variation in trait mindfulness, one’s disposition to attend to experiences with an open and nonjudgmental attitude, may be an important individual difference in children that supports emotional resilience. In this study, we investigated whether trait mindfulness was related to emotional resilience in response to stressful changes in education and home-life during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We conducted a correlational study examining self-report data from July 2020 to February 2021, from 163 eight-to ten-year-old children living in the US. Higher trait mindfulness scores correlated with less stress, anxiety, depression, and negative affect in children, and lower ratings of COVID-19 impact on their lives. Mindfulness moderated the relationship between COVID-19 child impact and negative affect. Children scoring high on mindfulness showed no correlation between rated COVID-19 impact and negative affect, whereas those who scored low on mindfulness showed a positive correlation between child COVID-19 impact and negative affect. Higher levels of trait mindfulness may have helped children to better cope with a wide range of COVID-19 stressors. Future studies should investigate the mechanisms by which trait mindfulness supports emotional resilience in children.
