在早期的一项研究中，我们为患有严重多重残疾的三名照顾者提供了正念训练。我们测量了护理人员在8周正念训练期间以及训练结束后16周内所表现出的幸福水平。我们发现，当一个人与一个接受过正念训练的照顾者互动时，幸福感明显增加，而不是与一个没有接受过这种训练的对照照顾者互动。在这项研究中，我们调查了三个照顾者增加的正念是否会转移到与自己孩子的互动中。孩子们的不遵守母亲的要求被用来作为一个间接的指标，培训他们的母亲在正念接收的效果。虽然儿童的年龄和他们的基线不依从性水平是可变的，但数据显示，在照顾者的正念训练期间，不依从性有所减少，并在完成训练后进一步减少。我们的数据提供了正念训练从亲子互动转移到亲子互动的初步证据。我们推测为什么这可能发生在正念训练中。
In an earlier study, we provided mindfulness training to three caregivers of individuals with profound multiple disabilities. We measured levels of happiness displayed by the individuals during the 8 weeks of mindfulness training of the caregivers, as well as during the 16 weeks following the termination of training. We found that happiness increased markedly when an individual interacted with a caregiver who had received training in mindfulness as opposed to a control caregiver who did not receive such training. In this study, we investigated whether the increased mindfulness of the three caregivers would transfer to interactions with their own children. The children's non-compliance with their mother's requests was used as an indirect index of the effects of training their mothers received in mindfulness. Although the ages of the children and their baseline levels of non-compliance were variable, the data showed a decrease in non-compliance during mindfulness training of the caregivers and further decreases following the completion of training. Our data provide preliminary evidence of transfer of mindfulness training from caregiving to parent-child interactions. We speculate as to why this may occur in mindfulness training.
