  • 소개/요약Research on mindfulness has expanded dramatically with the rising popularity of mindfulness training (MT) programs. Mindfulness practice consists primarily of focused-attention and open-monitoring practices (Lutz et al., 2008a). Focused attention involves repeated attention fixation, for example, on the sensation of breath entering the nostril, whereas open monitoring trains nonjudgmental awareness of moment-to-moment experience (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). The efficacy of MT for treating psychopathology is well established in randomized trials (Grossman et al., 2004). MT improves attention and working memory in healthy novices (Tang et al., 2007; Jha et al., 2010; MacLean et al., 2010), and reduces interference from emotional distractors on a tone discrimination task (Ortner et al., 2007). However, distinguishing the putative causality of affective and cognitive neural mechanisms is difficult given current methodological limitations, including a lack of active-controlled research (Davidson, 2010).
