Abstract

Abstract Repetitive thoughts are divided into constructive (concrete-experiential thought) and unconstructive (abstract-analytical thought) in processing mode theory. While previous studies have highlighted the similarities between concrete-experiential thought and mindfulness, no large-scale empirical study has been conducted to investigate this relationship. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 1,030 Japanese adults to explore this relationship. We found that abstract-analytic thought had negative correlations with all mindfulness aspects except observation. Conversely, concrete-experiential thought was positively related to the mindfulness aspects of observing, describing, and non-reacting; it was not correlated with non-judging or acting with awareness. Our study suggests that there are similarities between concrete-experiential thoughts and mindfulness: they both focus on the context and specificity of events and experiences, yet harbor some key differences. This implication may contribute to psychological intervention on repetitive thought and mindfulness.

Part of Taylor & Francis / Routledge, the journal provides authors with fast peer review and publication and, through open access publishing, endeavours to help authors share their knowledge with the world. Cogent Psychology particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies and also accepts replication studies and negative results.

Led by Editor-in-Chief Professor Peter Walla of Webster Private University, Austria, and supported by an expert editorial team from institutions across the globe, Cogent Psychology provides our authors with comprehensive and quality peer review.
