- 研究成果概要
- The present study examined whether and how mental training based on the Eastern traditions as well as dispositional mindfulness can improve interoceptive and exteroceptive awareness, and contribute to better psychological health. First, we introduced short-term mindfulness meditation on different themes to an on-demand lecture of a university. After the semester was over, an online questionnaire survey was conducted to examine the psychological impacts of these practices. Students gave relatively high self-evaluated scores on these practices, with 56.0 % of participants reporting that they had continued their practice after the lecture was over. Thus, these practices were suggested to have desirable psychological impacts. Second, we examined whether and how dispositional mindfulness may moderate the relationships between altered lifestyles during the COVID-19 pandemic and psychological health. An online questionnaire survey was conducted in September 2021 by involving working adults. Compared with the data obtained in 2020, participants expected that they may get infected with the COVID-19 to a lesser extent. In addition, the extent to which participants felt may be infected significantly predicted higher perceived stress only when mindfulness was relatively low. These results suggest that mindfulness could serve as a protective factor against deterioration of psychological health associated with the pandemic.
