- 소개/요약Understanding the antecedents and mechanisms of smoking in China is critical for effective tobacco control. However, ethnic minority adolescents are underreported in the literature, and smoking interventions in China are in their infancy. Previous studies report associations between mindfulness—an inherent state of consciousness characterized by attention to and awareness of present-moment experience (Brown & Ryan, 2003)—and smoking intention, behavior, and cessation, inferring that mindfulness training could be considered in anti-smoking interventions (Black, Milam, Sussman, & Anderson Johnson, 2012; Black, Sussman, Anderson Johnson, & Milam, 2012; Brown & Ryan, 2003; Carmody & Baer, 2008). However, the cognitive mechanisms by which mindfulness is associated with smoking require elucidation, particularly in testable theoretical models (Black, 2010). Furthermore, psychological studies on mindfulness and substance use in Buddhist populations are limited, even though mindfulness is emphasized in Buddhism. For example, previous studies of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS; Black et al., 2012b; Brown & Ryan, 2003), one of the most popular measures of mindfulness in scientific research, mostly utilized Caucasian samples, and overlooked non-Western populations, especially Buddhists and ethnic minorities. Therefore, research on these adolescent populations is warranted.
