Abstract

Disruptive thoughts interfere with concentration and performances. This report compares mindfulness practice (MP) with toning practice (TP) to reduce mind wandering and intrusive thoughts. Ninety-one undergraduate students (average age 22.4 years) began with either an MP or TP for 3 min. Respiration, blood volume pulse, and heart rate were monitored for 11 participants. The participants reported less mind wandering during TP ( M = 3.7) than during MP ( M = 6.5; p < .001), fewer intrusive thoughts during TP ( M = 3.2) than during MP ( M = 4.7; p < .001), and more body vibrations during TP ( M = 6.2) than during MP ( M = 2.3; p < .001) on a scale from 0 ( not at all ) to 10 ( all the time ). For participants with the highest self-reported rating of depression, TP was more effective in reducing mind wandering and intrusive thoughts than the MP ( p < .001). There was no difference in self-reports in peacefulness, warmth, relaxation, anxiety, and depression between TP and MP. There was a decrease in respiration rate during TP (4.6 br/min) as compared to MP (11.6 br/min; p < .001) and an increase in heart rate variability during TP (SDNN = 103.7 ms; SD = 11.6) as compared to MP (SDNN = 61.9 ms; SD = 6.4). The findings suggest that TP is a powerful strategy to reduce mind wandering and intrusive thoughts.

哪一个能更快地使头脑安静下来并增加心率波动:调节还是正念?

干扰性思维干扰注意力和表现。本报告比较了正念练习（MP）和爽肤练习（TP），以减少走神和侵入性思维。91名本科生（平均年龄22.4岁）开始服用MP或TP，持续3分钟。对11名参与者的呼吸、血容量脉搏和心率进行了监测。参与者报告称，在TP期间（M=3.7）比MP期间（M=6.5；p<.001）更少的走神，在TP（M=3.2）比MP（M=4.7；p<.001）更少的侵入性思维，在TP过程中（M=6.2）比在MP（M=2.3；p<.0001）更多的身体振动，范围从0（根本没有）到10（所有时间）。对于自我报告抑郁评分最高的参与者，TP在减少走神和侵入性思维方面比MP更有效（p<.001）。TP和MP在平静、温暖、放松、焦虑和抑郁方面的自我报告没有差异。TP期间的呼吸频率（4.6 br/min）与MP（11.6 br/min；p<.001）相比有所下降，TP期间的心率变异性（SDNN=103.7 ms；SD=11.6）与MP相比（SDNN=61.9 ms；SD=6.4）有所增加。研究结果表明，TP是减少走神和侵入性思维的强大策略。

期刊介绍： NeuroRegulation is a peer-reviewed journal providing an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on clinically relevant research, treatment, reviews, and public policy for neuroregulation and neurotherapy. NeuroRegulation publishes important findings in these fields with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG), neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback), quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), psychophysiology, biofeedback, heart rate variability, photobiomodulation, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (rTMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS); with a focus on treatment of psychiatric, mind-body, and neurological disorders. In addition to research findings and reviews, it is important to stress that publication of case reports is always useful in furthering the advancement of an intervention for both clinical and normative functioning. We strive for high quality and interesting empirical topics presented in a rigorous and scholarly manner. The journal draws from expertise inside and outside of the International Society for Neurofeedback & Research (ISNR) to deliver material which integrates the diverse aspects of the field, to include: *basic science *clinical aspects *treatment evaluation *philosophy *training and certification issues *technology and equipment
