- 소개/요약The interest in mindfulness and compassion-based intervention programs such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR; Kabat-Zinn 1982), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT; Segal et al. 2002), or Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT; Jazaieri et al. 2013a, b) is growing as these types of interventions have been shown to have a variety of beneficial effects, such as decreasing depression, anxiety, or chronic pain (e.g., Baer 2003; Galante et al. 2014; Grossman et al. 2004). The concept of mindfulness in particular has received a great deal of attention in the last decade of psychological and neuroscientific research. However, descriptions of mindfulness vary considerably (c.f. Bishop et al. 2004; Chiesa 2013; Grossman and Van Dam 2011; Hanley et al. 2016; Rapgay and Bystrisky 2009; Vago and Silbersweig 2012) and the term is nowadays used interchangeably to describe states, traits, psychological functions, and cognitive processes, as well as different types of meditation practices and entire intervention programs (Vago and Silbersweig 2012). While there is a general agreement that mindfulness crucially involves attention to, and awareness of, the present moment (Brown and Ryan 2003, 2004; but see Dreyfus 2011; Grossman and Van Dam 2011; Grossman 2008), controversy remains regarding the relationship between those capacities and concepts such as acceptance and nonjudgmental awareness. Moreover, it is unclear whether present-moment, attention-focused mindfulness practices are sufficient to elicit a cascade of changes including acceptance, nonjudgmental awareness, and compassion, or whether explicit practices are needed to bring about these socio-affective and motivational qualities. Here, we therefore tested the specific effect of different types of mental practices on different subscales of widely used mindfulness and compassion-related self-report questionnaires.
