Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between mindful attention awareness and emotion regulation as well as the effect of vipassana meditation on these two constructs. The Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS-15) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation (DERS-36) are used for data collection. Out of 248 participants, 123 are Vipassana Meditators, who practised Vipassana Meditation at least five times per week for the previous two years and had attended at least one 10- day Vipassana Meditation Course from any Vipassana Centre, and 125 are nonmeditators, who did not practise any meditation at all. The obtained data analysis was done on SPSS-25 and found to have a significant relationship between mindful attention awareness and emotional regulation. The results also revealed that there is a significant difference in the samples’ mindful awareness and emotional regulation. The results of the study help to complement and understand clearly, as well as present a unique contribution to the current body of information on Vipassana Meditation and its highly beneficial impact.

专注于正念注意意识和情绪调节的方法:内观冥想

本研究旨在探讨正念注意觉知与情绪调节的关系，以及内观禅修对这两个构念的影响。数据收集采用正念注意意识量表(MAAS-15)和情绪调节困难量表(DERS-36)。在248名参与者中，123名是内观冥想者，他们在过去的两年里每周至少练习五次内观冥想，并参加了任何内观中心至少一次为期10天的内观冥想课程，125名非冥想者，他们根本没有练习过任何冥想。在SPSS-25上进行数据分析，发现正念注意意识与情绪调节之间存在显著关系。结果还显示，样本的正念意识和情绪调节存在显著差异。这项研究的结果有助于补充和清楚地理解，并对当前的内观冥想及其高度有益的影响的信息提供了独特的贡献。

期刊介绍： Mind & Society is a journal for ideas, explorations, investigations and discussions on the interaction between the human mind and the societal environments. Scholars from all fields of inquiry who entertain and examine various aspects of these interactions are warmly invited to submit their work. The journal welcomes case studies, theoretical analysis and modeling, data analysis and reports (quantitative and qualitative) that can offer insight into existing frameworks or offer views and reason for the promise of new directions for the study of interaction between the mind and the society. The potential contributors are particularly encouraged to carefully consider the impact of their work on societal functions in private and public sectors, and to dedicate part of their discussion to an explicit clarification of such, existing or potential, implications.Officially cited as: Mind Soc
