研究人员试图了解可能促进有效的亲子沟通的过程，因为这与青少年的适应有很强的联系。正念是西方心理学中一个相对较新的概念，源于古老的东方传统，已被证明可以促进沟通，并在育儿背景下发挥作用。在这篇文章中，我们在农村和郊区，早期青少年和他们的母亲（n = 432；平均青少年年龄= 12.14,46%的男性，72%的白人）的纵向样本中测试了有意识的养育是否以及如何与青少年的常规披露和父母的恳求联系在一起。我们发现三个因素——父母对披露的负面反应、青少年对父母过度控制的感觉和亲子关系的情感质量——介导了正念育儿与青少年披露和父母请求之间的关联。结果表明，正念育儿可以通过减少父母对信息的负面反应、青少年对过度控制的感知以及改善亲子关系的情感质量来改善母亲与青少年的沟通。讨论强调了干预的意义和未来的研究方向。
Researchers have sought to understand the processes that may promote effective parent-adolescent communication because of the strong links to adolescent adjustment. Mindfulness, a relatively new construct in Western psychology that derives from ancient Eastern traditions, has been shown to facilitate communication and to be beneficial when applied in the parenting context. In this article, we tested if and how mindful parenting was linked to routine adolescent disclosure and parental solicitation within a longitudinal sample of rural and suburban, early adolescents and their mothers (n = 432; mean adolescent age = 12.14, 46% male, 72% Caucasian). We found that three factors -- negative parental reactions to disclosure, adolescent feelings of parental over-control, and the affective quality of the parent-adolescent relationship -- mediated the association between mindful parenting and adolescent disclosure and parental solicitation. Results suggest that mindful parenting may improve mother-adolescent communication by reducing parental negative reactions to information, adolescent perceptions of over-control, and by improving the affective quality of the parent-adolescent relationship. The discussion highlights intervention implications and future directions for research.
