Abstract

Objectives There is evidence to suggest that only 2-4 weeks of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can already alleviate emotional stress. The current studies sought to examine whether experiential avoidance mediated the effects of MBIs on emotional distress during an early stage of the intervention. Methods: Chinese participants with high emotional distress were recruited. Study 1 included 324 participants, randomly assigned to an online MBI (N = 171) or a control group (N = 153). Experiential avoidance and general emotional distress were measured at baseline and after the 3rd week of the intervention. Study 2 included 158 participants, randomly assigned to an online MBI (N = 79) or a control group (N = 79). Experiential avoidance and emotional distress were measured at baseline and weekly in the first three weeks. Results: Compared to the control group, experiential avoidance and emotional distress were significantly improved in the MBI group during the first three weeks of the intervention (Cohen's d = 0.22-0.63). Moreover, changes in experiential avoidance mediated the effects of MBI on emotional distress in the early stage in both contemporary and lagged mediation models. Discussion: Experiential avoidance is an important mediator during the early-stage of MBIs for alleviating emotional distress.

体验性回避在基于正念的在线干预早期阶段的作用：两项调解研究

目的有证据表明，只需2-4周的正念干预（MBIs）就能缓解情绪压力。目前的研究旨在探讨在干预的早期阶段，体验性回避是否能调节正念干预对情绪困扰的影响。研究方法招募情绪困扰严重的中国参与者。研究1包括324名参与者，随机分配到在线MBI组（171人）或对照组（153人）。分别在基线和干预第三周后对体验性回避和一般情绪困扰进行测量。研究 2 包括 158 名参与者，随机分配到在线 MBI 组（N = 79）或对照组（N = 79）。在基线期和前三周每周对体验性回避和情绪困扰进行测量。结果显示与对照组相比，在干预的前三周，MBI 组的体验性回避和情绪困扰得到了显著改善（Cohen's d = 0.22-0.63）。此外，在当代和滞后调解模型中，体验性回避的变化在早期阶段调解了MBI对情绪困扰的影响。讨论在缓解情绪困扰的 MBI 早期阶段，体验性回避是一个重要的中介因素。
