A peaceful mind: come la mindfulness disposizionale si associa a stabilità emotiva nel tempo e attraverso gli eventi“. Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Padova, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11577/3426710.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleLa stabilità emotiva è un ingrediente essenziale della salute mentale a lungo termine. Basandosi sul noto collegamento tra consapevolezza e benessere, abbiamo investigato il ruolo di diversi aspetti della mindfulness disposizionale nella stabilità delle emozioni. Abbiamo ipotizzato che le persone con alta mindfulness disposizionale avrebbero mostrato maggiore stabilità emotiva, rappresentata da minore reattività emotiva di fronte a eventi rilevanti per l’individuo, traiettorie delle emozioni più piatte, ridotti effetti di eventi negativi e positivi su – rispettivamente – emozioni negative e positive, e livelli più bassi di variabilità e instabilità delle emozioni. Abbiamo testato sistematicamente queste ipotesi tramite uno studio cross-section, tre longitudinali e un experience sampling, analizzando i dati con modelli lineari semplici, multilevel, multilevel di crescita. I risultati hanno supportato le nostre ipotesi, specialmente per quanto riguarda le emozioni negative. La mindfulness disposizionale si è mostrata associata a livelli più bassi di emozioni negative provate nel pensare a un evento negativo o positivo rilevante e recente, a traiettorie dell’affettività negativa appiattite, a relazioni più deboli tra variazioni intra-individuali negli eventi negativi e affettività negativa, e a minore variabilità e instabilità delle emozioni negative. Analisi condotte su aspetti specifici della mindfulness hanno rivelato che questi effetti erano dovuti soprattutto a differenze in awareness, nonjudgment, e nonreactivity to inner experience, e che nonjudgment e nonreactivity moderavano anche l’effetto delle variazioni intra-individuali negli eventi positivi sull’affettività positiva. Inoltre, la relazione tra questi tre aspetti della mindfulness disposizionale e la soddisfazione di vita era parzialmente mediata da una ridotta variabilità emotiva. Questi risultati forniscono una nuova prospettiva sul collegamento tra mindfulness e benessere, suggerendo che un beneficio fondamentale della mindfulness disposizionale è vivere una vita caratterizzata da maggiore equanimità e stabilità emotiva.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe thesis aims to investigate the effects of two techniques of emotional reglulation, mindfulness meditation and yoga, on stress reactivity, alexithymia, and its relevant variables. Forty-four healthy particiants were ramdomly allocated into 3 groups; mindfulness meditation, yoga and control. The results showed that the 8-weeks of mindfulness meditation (one session/week with an instructor and two sessions as home-practice) significantly improved mindfulness skill and concentration. While, the 8-weeks of yoga significantly ameliorated heart rate variability, (increased HF(n.u.), decreased LF(n.u.) and LF/HF). However, there was no significant interaction effect of group x time for stress hormones. Furthermore, there was no significant interaction effect of group x time for alexithymia. We add a qualitative analysis to better understand the process behind the changes following theinterventions. It indicated that the mindfulness meditation seemed to be the most effective intervention for alexithymia. Individual differences such as personality, attitudes and confidence on the effectiveness of intervention as well as the level of physical activity should be taken into account in the choice of the most appropriate intervention for a specific profile. Despite the study limitations due to the small subjects number in the different groups, it appears that mindfulness meditation and yoga seem to be an effective intervention for stress management, and mindfulness meditation would be suggested for alexithymia

Mindfulness is a kind of awareness that can help individuals to break away from their subjective perspectives and then to develop their own thoughts and emotions. In modern studies using mindfulness in adults, the studies show that mind-mediation, meditation or intervention based on mindfulness can reduce individual stress, anxiety and depression symptoms, and increase their positive mood and life satisfaction. Mindfulness can promote recovery from work stress, thereby improving one’s resilience and happiness at work. In order to explore the correlation between work stress, job burnout, job satisfaction, and mindfulness, the study is based on mindfulness as a mediator between work stress and burnout. That’s a quantitative study in which, the convenience sampling method was used to collect data on main office workers in New Taipei City and Taipei City, and 231 valid samples were collected. After the questionnaire was collected, Amos and SPSS statistical software were used to analyze the structural equation model and the independent sample T test. This leads to the following preliminary findings within the context of domestic office workers: (1) Work stress positively affects burnout. (2) Work stress negatively affects job satisfaction. (3) Job satisfaction negatively affects burnout. (4) The work stress mediates through job satisfaction to positively affects the burnout. (5) Mindfulness positively regulates the impact of work stress on burnout.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIntrodução: A maior parte dos estudos sobre a associação entre Mindfulness e Funcionamento Sexual Feminino são realizados com mulheres que têm problemas e/ou disfunções sexuais. Tal é uma lacuna, pois também é importante perceber quais os fatores relevantes no desenvolvimento sexual de pessoas sem queixas. O presente estudo visa examinar inter-correlações entre mindfulness disposicional, consciência interocetiva, e funcionamento sexual feminino, assim como testar os efeitos do treino mindfulness nestas variáveis. Método: Realizaram-se dois estudos numa amostra da população geral feminina. O Estudo 1 foi correlacional contando com uma amostra por conveniência de 660 mulheres, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 65 anos. Utilizaram-se a Escala de Avaliação Multidimensional da Consciência Interocetiva (MAIA), o Questionário das Cinco Facetas de Mindfulness (FFMQ), o Índice de Função Sexual Feminina (FSFI), a Escala de Distress Sexual Feminino - Revisto (FSDS-R) e um questionário sobre a Qualidade da Fase de Resolução. O Estudo 2 teve um design quase-experimental tendo participado 16 mulheres entre os 22 e os 31 anos. Avaliaram-se as mudanças nas medidas usadas no Estudo 1 causadas por uma intervenção de treino mindfulness durante um mês. Resultados: No Estudo 1 encontraram-se correlações entre mindfulness disposicional, consciência interocetiva e funcionamento sexual, mantidas após se controlar a prática de exercícios mindfulness. No Estudo 2, o treino de mindfulness aumentou aspetos do mindfulness disposicional e da consciência interocetiva. Conclusão: O funcionamento sexual poderá ser melhorado pelo desenvolvimento de consciência interocetiva e de atenção não reativa.
Introduction: Most studies about the association between Mindfulness and Female Sexual Functioning are conducted with women who have sexual problems and/or dysfunctions. This is a gap, as it is also important to understand the relevant factors in the sexual development of people without complaints. The present study aims to examine inter-correlations between dispositional mindfulness, interoceptive awareness, and female sexual functioning, as well as to test the effects of mindfulness training on these variables. Method: Two studies have been conducted in a sample of the general female population. Study 1 was correlational and had a convenience sample of 660 women, aged between 18 and 65 years. The Multidimensional Assessment Scale of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Female Sexual Distress Scale - Revised (FSDS-R) and a questionnaire about the Quality of the Resolution Phase were used. Study 2 had a quasi-experimental design in which 16 women between 22 and 31 years of age participated. This study evaluated the changes in the measures used in Study 1 caused by a mindfulness training intervention over the course of a month. Results: In Study 1, positive correlations were found between dispositional mindfulness, interoceptive awareness and sexual functioning, maintained after controlling the practice of mindfulness exercises. In Study 2, mindfulness training increased aspects of dispositional mindfulness and interoceptive awareness. Conclusion: Sexual functioning can be improved through the development of interoceptive awareness and non-reactive attention.
Salgado, Eduardo F. „Differential Factors Influencing Hispanic/Latinx Adolescent Engagement in Mind-Body Skills Groups for Depression“. Thesis, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.7912/C2/70.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMajor Depressive Disorder is a prevalent and pervasive problem in the United States, and this mental disorder disproportionately affects adolescents of color. In particular, there is little research understanding how Hispanic/Latinx adolescents utilize and engage with mental health services, such as psychotherapy, to reduce their symptoms of depression, including factors that are positively and negatively related to engagement. As such, the aims of this study were to understand whether there were any relationships between presenting characteristics of adolescents seeking therapy for depression and their subsequent engagement with therapeutic services, with a focus on analyses examining trends in Hispanic/Latinx adolescents. To investigate these aims, we utilized data from a pilot study in which adolescents (n=42) received a mind-body intervention for depression called Mind-Body Skills Groups. We examined possible relationships between depression severity, age, Hispanic/Latinx background, and their interactions with engagement, as measured by attendance rates, self-reported motivation, and at-home skills practice. We hypothesized that high depression severity, high age, and being Hispanic/Latinx would all negatively influence engagement; we also hypothesized the depression-engagement and age-engagement relationships would be moderated by Hispanic/Latinx background. Results revealed initial relationships between lower age and being Hispanic/Latinx with higher attendance rates; depression severity was not related to attendance. When these relationships were further analyzed using hierarchical regression, no significant relationships between predictor and outcomes variables, as well as their interactions, were discovered. In an exploratory analysis investigating factors of adolescent depression using subscales, greater interpersonal problems predicted higher attendance rates. Results are interpreted relative to limitations of the small sample size and possible measurement concerns within this study, including a discussion of possible ways to improve related studies on Hispanic/Latinx youth in the future.

Excessive anxiety and worry about lots of events or activities are the main features of generalized anxiety disorder. The anxiety and worry associated with difficulty concentrating or restlessness symptoms is also one of the diagnostic criteria. Previous studies found that mind-wandering plays an important role in guiding individual’s attention to personal concern, and rendering GAD patients easily emerging in repeated worried contents and negative emotions. Though mindfulness based intervention therapy has been found to have remarkable efficacy in reducing worry and anxiety level, the mechanisms of change have remained unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore that under worried state, whether the three minute breathing space mindfulness practice would help individuals with high GAD tendency decrease their negative emotions and lower their mind-wandering level subsequently. Study 1 aimed to explore the relations between GAD, worry, trait mindfulness and mind-wandering through correlational approach. We recruited 182 participants (male = 75, female = 107) from collage sample of Taiwan. The results revealed that after control the depressive mood, GAD had positive effects on worry and mind-wandering. Worry also had positive effect on mind-wandering. On the other hand, GAD had negative effect on trait mindfulness, and trait mindfulness had negative effects on mind-wandering. We also found that the effect of GAD on mind-wandering was mediated by worry and mindfulness. In study 2, we recruited 122 participants (male = 48, female = 74) from collage sample of Taiwan. Study 2 was an experiment with 2 (GAD tendency: high/ low) × 3 (emotion regulation intervention: mindfulness/ concentration/ relaxation) × 3 (the time point which participants'' mind-wandering and emotional state are measured: pre-test/ post-worry induction / post-emotion regulation intervention) mixed factorial design. The results found that at the post-emotion regulation intervention, the negative emotion of the participants in all emotion regulation intervention groups were all significantly decreased compared to pre-test and post-worry induction, indicating there was not significant different between mindfulness, concentration and relaxation groups. As to the mind-wandering levels, at the post-emotion regulation intervention, the mindfulness group showed the significantly lowest level compared with concentration and relaxation groups, whereas the concentration and relaxation group have no significant difference. Mindfulness group showed significantly lower mind-wandering levels at the post-emotion regulation compared with post-worry induction. We concluded that the mindfulness intervention was better than concentration and relaxation intervention for the mind-wandering level regulation. The relations between GAD, worry, mindfulness and the mind-wandering are discussed. The impacts of mindfulness on the psychopathology of GAD are also discussed.

By way of self narrative, this paper mainly focuses on the relationship between traditional Buddhist meditation and modern mindfulness psychotherapy in order to provide a reference for practicality and research purposes. Due to the vastness and long history of Dharma, we learn and practise different traditional Buddhist meditation methods which can promote physical and mental balance and health. However, the diversity of methods and factions can easily make the practice feel complicated and confused. Fortunately, I have been learning traditional meditation for many years, gradually in depth from the Hinayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism. In recent years, I also learned the modern mindfulness psychotherapy. Thus, I have put much effort in meditation. In this research, I focus on the understanding and integration of self-learning experience which not only establish my personal meditation viewpoints, but also put forward my personal opinions after comparing the ancient and the modern meditation linages. This understanding can expand different learning viewpoints for current popular mindfulness psychotherapy and also provide traceability for the religious Buddhist practice and its connection between these both Buddhist traditional meditation and modern mindfulness practices. It can be used as a reference for meditation practical learning and research purposes.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle雖然靜觀減壓療法(MBSR)近來備受關注, 但在香港中國人群中尚缺乏可靠量表測定其靜觀能力,而且也罕有研究評估MBSR在家庭護理者心理健康方面的作用。
研究目的
本研究有兩個目的:第一,在香港社區人群和臨床患者中驗證中文版《五面靜觀能力問卷》(FFMQ-C),並設計簡潔版中文問卷 (FFMQ-SF);第二,使用隨機對照研究(RCT)評估MBSR在緩解家庭護理者抑鬱症狀等方面的療效。
對象與方法
在問卷驗證研究中,招募了230名社區成人和156名廣泛性焦慮患者(GAD)。重測信度和內部一致性信度用於檢驗可信度。驗證性因素分析(CFA)則用於檢驗結構效度。
在RCT中,141位符合納入和排除條件的家庭護理者被隨機分配至靜觀減壓組和對照組(提供健康教育自學材料)。抑鬱症狀是本研究的主要指標,使用流行病學研究中心憂鬱量表(CESD)測定。得分在16以上的被定為疑是抑鬱症,CESD下降50%則被定為臨床好轉。次要研究結果包括焦慮,自我效能,靜觀能力和生活品質等。參與者需在研究開始之前,幹預結束之時和三個月隨訪之後自行填寫問卷。數據分析採用意向性研究方法。
研究結果
FFMQ-C的重測信度為0.88,內部一致性在社區人群為0.83,在GAD患者為0.80。CFA證實了問卷的五因數結構 (NNFI 0.94, CFI 0.95, RMSEA 0.076 (0.063-0.086))。FFMQ-SF包括20個條目,具有良好的效度和信度。
在RCT中,靜觀減壓組 (n=70)的退出率明顯低於對照組 (n=71)(12.9% vs 26.8%, p= .039)。靜觀減壓組CESD的下降程度在幹預結束之時(-6.72 ± 6.38 vs -2.85 ± 4.82, p= .001),和三個月隨訪之後(-4.70 ± 6.32 vs -1.39 ± 8.52, p=.001)都比對照組更加顯著。靜觀減壓組較對照組有更多人獲得臨床好轉的,無論在幹預結束之時(35.3% vs 4.7%, OR (2.29, 54.51)),還是在三個月隨訪之後(23.5% vs 7.0%, OR (1.00, 16.90))。靜觀減壓組在焦慮症狀緩解、自我效能提高和靜觀能力增加等方面均較對照組有更顯著的改變。
研究結論
FFMQ-C和FFMQ-SF都能可靠並準確的檢測香港中國人群的靜觀能力。
MBSR能有效減少護理者的焦慮、抑鬱症狀,提高自我效能和靜觀能力,在香港社區中有良好的可行性和接受性。
Introduction
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. However, no questionnaires were validated to measure “mindfulness in Hong Kong Chinese adults. In addition, few studies have been conducted to examine the effectiveness of MBSR on mental wellbeing of family caregivers.
Objectives
The first part of this thesis aimed to validate the Chinese version of Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-C) in Hong Kong and to develop a short form scale (FFMQ-SF). The second part of the thesis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MBSR in reducing depressive symptoms among family caregivers in Hong Kong Chinese adults.
Subjects and Methods
In the first part of the thesis, 230 community adults and 156 patients with clinical diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) were recruited. Both test-retest and internal consistency reliability were used to examine the reliability of FFMQ-C, while confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used to examine the structure validity of FFMQ-C.
In the second part of the thesis, 141 caregivers, who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, were randomly assigned to either the 8-week MBSR group or the control group (self-learning booklets on mental health and stress management). The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) was used to measure the depressive symptoms as the primary outcome. A score of CESD above 16 was used to identify the clinically significant depression and a 50% or more reduction in CESD was regarded as clinical improvement. The secondary outcomes included anxiety, self-efficacy, mindfulness and quality of life and so on. All the outcome measures were self-administrated at baseline, post-intervention and 3-month follow-up. Intention-to-treat analyses were used to test the group effects of MBSR on outcome measures.
Results
The test-retest reliability of FFMQ-C was 0.88, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.83 in the community sample and 0.80 in the GAD sample. CFA showed adequate model fit for correlated five-factor structure (NNFI 0.94, CFI 0.95, RMSEA 0.076 (0.063-0.086)). A 20-item FFMQ-SF was developed and showed sufficient reliability, validity and psychometric property.
In the second part of the thesis, the MBSR group (n=70) showed significantly lower attrition rate than the control group (n=71) (12.9% vs 26.8%, p= .039). Participants in the MBSR group reported significantly greater reduction in CESD compared to the controls immediately post-intervention (-6.72 ± 6.38 vs -2.85 ± 4.82, p= .001) and at 3 months post-intervention (-4.70 ± 6.32 vs -1.39 ± 8.52, p=.001). MBSR group had a significantly larger proportion of participants with clinical improvement than the control group immediately post-intervention (35.3% vs 4.7%, OR (2.29, 54.51)) and at 3 months post-intervention (23.5% vs 7.0%, OR (1.00, 16.90)). Significant group effects of MBSR were also shown on the reduction of anxiety symptoms, the improvement in self-efficacy, and the increase in mindfulness.
Conclusions
The FFMQ-C and FFMQ-SF are reliable and valid instruments to measure mindfulness in Hong Kong Chinese adults.
MBSR is a feasible and acceptable program to effectively reduce psychological symptoms, and to improve mindfulness and self-efficacy among adult caregivers in Hong Kong Chinese.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe subjective sense of having a self is commonly assumed to be static and anchored to the physical body. This presumption strongly preconditions how neuroscientists, philosophers, and computer scientists conceive of mind and attempt to engineer ‘intelligence’. The present thesis expounds on how the brain constructs reality through mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness (BSC) and the free-energy principle (FEP), and, notably, how this process can be manipulated and enhanced. This work shows how BSC can be manipulated endogenously-through self-regulation methods, e.g. meditation—and/or exogenously-through virtual reality and artificial intelligence technologies, with applications for healthy and clinical populations. I describe the human evolutionary emergence of selfhood and present the novel Causal Biomimesis hypothesis that tethers the formation of the sense of self with toolmaking, objective thought, technological development, and sociality. I argue that, particularly regarding artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the externalisation of human cognition as technological artefact and its feedback effect on humans raises an ethical concern: that we are building AI, a class of artefact that is poised to strongly affect the evolution of humanity, based on a current image of ourselves and our perceived capabilities. From this ethical consideration, I make a case for the research and incorporation of non-ordinary consciousness (NOC), i.e. via self-regulation methods, into the design and engineering of AI. I present a neurophenomenological praxis (NP) based on the principles of the FEP that serves as a framework for instantiating (1st-/2nd-person) and researching (3rd- person) NOC and as a cognitive map for designing AI capable of supporting NOC. I discuss how a decentralised approach to AI could maximise the chances of a more ethical and representative AI by capturing and integrating a wider swathe of humanity’s values. Finally, I explore the farther frontiers of the implications of this thesis work: merged human-AI cognition in the form of what are herein termed “mindplexes”, where the phenomenology of NOC cultivation may elucidate the workings of mind in a way that helps humanity build a more capable and ethical human-AI future.

Almost one hundred years ago, many people in our country were addicted to Opium and completely abandoned themselves. That’s why our country tried to get away from the damage from Opium, but unfortunately caused Opium War. Nowadays, drug abuse has become a global problem. According tot he statistics of Ministry of Justice Jan-Sep in 103 , the total quantity of drugs caughted amounted to 3826 kilograms. The damage drugs caused to the society is still going on and has not yet ceased. I have been taking part in the religious education for the people receiving rehabilitation treatment in prisons for nearly twenty years. All these years, I have been devoted to the drug prevention, hoping to seek a better way beneficial for the drug abusers and help them to start up their new life. In this research, I make use of the techniques of mindfulness combined with Tea-Chan in religious education for drug addicts in Rehab Institution. A twelve-week course named “Life of mindfulness” is designed to establish new pattern of life for the drug addicts. This course includes learning the techniques of mindfulness and experiencing Tea-Chan. Eighteen drug addicts joined in the course. They were all volunteers and accepted to join in this course after interviews one by one. In the course, participants first learned the techniques of mindfulness, then kept mindfulness diaries and in the last made use of all the techniques they had learned in so-called “Tea-Chan exhibition”. In this way, I helped them to deepen their impressions of mindfulness and planted the mindfulness seedling in their hearts. This research was intended to find out: 1) whether mindfulness could change the habitual life pattern of the participants, 2) in what aspect they changed themselves, 3) how mindfulness was applied to drug addicts in religious education, 4) the application and effects of Tea-Chan Exhibition, and 5) finally the feasibility study mindfulness was applied to the education of drug addicts in prisons. After this course, I analysed all the data collected in this course and found that if mindfulness diaries could be continued for a longer period of time, the participants could reach sobhanasadharana mentioned in《Abhidharma》:kayapassaddhi、citta-Passaddhi、kayalahuta、citta-lahuta、kaya-muduta、citta-muduta、kaya-kammaññata、citta-kammaññata、kaya-paguññata、citta-paguññata、kayujjukata、cittujjukata and could go on to viraticetasika:sammavaca、sammakammanto、samma-ajivo, and that may be the key point for them to get away from drugs after they get out of prisons in the future. My suggestions are: 1)mindfulness can be used to raise mental and physical levels of drug addicts, 2)mindfulness can lead to new life of eight Noble Truths, and 3) we should plan to promote “New Life of Mindfulness” widely.
