Abstract

Objectives: The health repercussions of intergroup bias on members of minoritized groups are massive. This scoping review examines the available peer-reviewed evidence on mindfulness as a moderator of associations between intergroup bias and psychological health indicators.

Method: Peer-reviewed studies of mindfulness moderating associations between intergroup bias and psychological health indicators through May 2024 were surveyed, with no limitations in terms of intergroup bias variety, study context, participants' characteristics, or date of publication. Sixteen articles were eligible and reviewed.

Results: Trait mindfulness moderated negative associations between intergroup bias and psychological health indicators in most studies reviewed, such that the associations are reduced or disappear at high, compared to low, levels of trait mindfulness.

Conclusions: Important caveats of this protective role of mindfulness are discussed, such as the lack of diversity in mindfulness research and interventions, and the potentially silencing effect of mindfulness as construed in mainstream Western contexts.

正念在群体间偏见和心理健康之间的调节作用：一个范围综述。

目的：群体间偏见对少数群体成员的健康影响是巨大的。本综述考察了正念作为群体间偏见和心理健康指标之间关联的调节因素的现有同行评议证据。方法：截至2024年5月，对正念调节群体间偏见与心理健康指标之间关联的同行评议研究进行调查，不受群体间偏见种类、研究背景、参与者特征或发表日期的限制。16篇文章符合条件并进行了审查。结果：在回顾的大多数研究中，特质正念调节了群体间偏见与心理健康指标之间的负相关，因此，与低水平的特质正念相比，高水平的特质正念会减少或消失。结论：本文讨论了正念保护作用的重要警告，如正念研究和干预缺乏多样性，以及西方主流背景下正念的潜在沉默效应。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
