本研究在以社区为基础的种族和少数民族成人样本中检验了特质正念在感知歧视和抑郁症状之间的关系中的潜在缓冲作用。对97名参与者进行的分析表明，自我报告的特质正念调节了感知歧视与抑郁症状之间的关系。正念低的个体在高水平的歧视中经历了抑郁症状的加剧。然而，高正念的个体在高歧视水平下报告的抑郁症状较低。在控制了年龄、性别和收入等潜在的混杂效应后，结果仍然稳健。结果表明，正念是一个重要的个体差异，它可能赋予种族和少数民族社区的弹性，这些社区经历了不成比例的与歧视相关的压力源和健康差异。研究结果指出，将正念作为一种可修改的技能进行干预的潜在效用，可以专门用于应对歧视。讨论了在种族和少数民族社区中使用基于正念的方法的社会文化考虑。
This study examined the potential buffering role of trait mindfulness in the relationship between perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms in a community-based sample of racial and ethnic minority adults. Analyses conducted on 97 participants indicated that self-reported trait mindfulness moderated the relationship between perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms. Individuals low in mindfulness experienced elevated depressive symptoms at high levels of discrimination. However, individuals high in mindfulness reported lower depressive symptoms at high levels of discrimination. Results remained robust when controlling for potential confounding effects of age, sex, and income. Results suggest mindfulness is an important individual difference that may confer resilience for racial and ethnic minority communities who experience disproportionate levels of discrimination-related stressors and health disparities. Findings point to the potential utility of interventions that target mindfulness as a modifiable skill that can be used specifically to cope with discrimination. Socio-cultural considerations for the use of mindfulness-based approaches in racial and ethnic minority communities are discussed.
