Abstract

Understanding of the exact trajectories of mood improvements during mindfulness practice helps to optimize mindfulness-based interventions. The Mindfulness-to-Meaning model expects mood improvements to be linear, incremental, and cumulative. Our findings align with this expectation. We used multilevel growth curve models to analyze daily changes in positive mood reported by 190 Polish participants during 42 days of a mobile-app-supported, mindfulness-based intervention. The daily positive mood increased among 83.68% of participants. Participants who started the training reported worse mood improved more and faster than participants with better mood at the baseline. Dispositional mindfulness and narcissism – individual difference variables associated with high vs. low emotion regulation ability, respectively – were not associated with mood improvement trajectories. A small group of participants (16.32%) showed a steady decline in positive mood during the intervention. The results underscore the importance of a more comprehensive understanding of individual variability in benefiting from mindfulness-based interventions.

变化的形状：在手机应用支持的正念训练中，日常情绪的累积和递增变化。

了解正念练习过程中情绪改善的确切轨迹有助于优化基于正念的干预措施。正念到意义 "模型希望情绪的改善是线性的、渐进的和累积的。我们的研究结果符合这一预期。我们使用多层次增长曲线模型分析了 190 名波兰参与者在 42 天的移动应用程序支持、正念干预期间所报告的积极情绪的每日变化。83.68%的参与者每天的积极情绪都有所上升。与基线情绪较好的参与者相比，开始接受培训时报告情绪较差的参与者的情绪改善幅度更大、速度更快。倾向性正念和自恋--分别与情绪调节能力高低相关的个体差异变量--与情绪改善轨迹无关。一小部分参与者（16.32%）的积极情绪在干预期间持续下降。这些结果强调了更全面地了解个体差异对于从正念干预中获益的重要性。
