目标 晚年往往伴随着在几个生活领域的损失和丧亲之痛的经验。尽管如此,老年人比年轻人经历的负面影响更少。对于这一矛盾的发现已经提出了几种解释,但年龄和负面情绪之间联系的潜在机制仍然很不清楚。在本研究中,我们提出,正念可能是这种关联的一个重要调解人。 方法 507名参与者(年龄范围18-85岁)的横断面样本被用来调查这个问题。参与者完成了一系列关于人口统计学变量,正念,情感,生活质量(QoL)和个性的自我报告问卷。在我们的中介分析中,我们使用了一种称为G估计的先进统计技术来控制混杂变量(如人格维度和生活质量)的影响。 结果 我们的研究结果表明,与年龄相关的负面影响的减少是由正念介导的。当我们控制生活质量和个性时,结果仍然显着。 讨论 这些发现意味着正念技巧可能是年龄和负面影响之间的重要联系。这些研究结果的理解的幸福悖论的影响进行了讨论。
OBJECTIVES Later life is often accompanied by experiences of loss and bereavement in several life domains. In spite of this, older adults experience less negative affect than their younger counterparts. Several explanations for this paradoxical finding have been put forward, but the mechanisms underlying the association between age and negative affect remain largely unclear. In the present study, we propose that mindfulness may be an important mediator of this association. METHOD A cross-sectional sample of 507 participants (age range 18-85 years) was used to investigate this question. Participants completed a range of self-report questionnaires on demographic variables, mindfulness, affect, quality of life (QoL), and personality. In our mediation analysis, we used an advanced statistical technique called G-estimation to control for the impact of confounding variables such as personality dimensions and QoL. RESULTS Our findings indicate that the age-related decrease in negative affect is mediated by mindfulness. The results remain significant when we control for QoL and personality. DISCUSSION These findings imply that mindfulness skills may be an important link between age and negative affect. Implications of these findings for the understanding of the well-being paradox are discussed.
