近期研究表明，感觉加工敏感性与不良的心理和身体健康相关。然而，这种关联是如何产生的仍不清楚。感觉加工敏感性可理解为在没有有意觉察和一种非反应性态度（这是正念的组成部分）的情况下对感觉的敏感性。我们检验了这样一个假设：特质正念在感觉加工敏感性与特质焦虑、幸福感和心身症状之间的关系中起中介作用。我们分析了来自563名生活在日本的年轻成年人的数据。多元中介分析表明，正念的四个方面（非反应性、不评判、描述和有意识地行动）部分中介了感觉加工敏感性的子因素（低感觉阈值和易兴奋性）对特质焦虑的影响。非反应性、描述和有意识地行动部分中介了低感觉阈值对幸福感的影响，并完全中介了易兴奋性的影响。不评判和有意识地行动部分中介了低感觉阈值和易兴奋性对心身症状的影响。总体而言，中介假设得到了支持，并且可以确定特质正念的提高可能对感觉加工敏感性高的人的心理和生理问题有效。
Recent studies have suggested that sensory-processing sensitivity correlates to poor psychological and physical health. However, it remains unclear how this occurs. Sensory-processing sensitivity can be understood as sensitivity to sensations without the presence of intentional awareness and a nonreactive attitude, which are the components of mindfulness. We tested the hypothesis that dispositional mindfulness mediates the relationship between sensory-processing sensitivity and trait anxiety, well-being and psychosomatic symptoms. We analyzed data from 563 participating young adults living in Japan. Multiple mediation analysis showed that the four facets (nonreactivity, nonjudging, describing, and acting with awareness) of mindfulness partially mediated the effects of sub-factors of sensory-processing sensitivity (low sensory threshold and ease of excitation) on trait anxiety. Nonreactivity, describing, and acting with awareness partially mediated the effect of low sensory threshold on well-being and fully mediated the effect of ease of excitation. Nonjudging and acting with awareness partially mediated the effects of low sensory threshold and ease of excitation on psychosomatic symptoms. As a whole, the mediation hypotheses were supported, and it was determined that the improvement of dispositional mindfulness may prove effective for the psychological and physical problems of people with high sensory-processing sensitivity.
