  • 소개/요약This study investigated associations between mindfulness and symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety. Mindfulness was disaggregated into five subscales: ‘nonreactivity to inner experience’ ‘observing’ ‘acting with awareness’ ‘describing’ and ‘nonjudging of inner experience’. Twin models were used to examine genetic and environmental influences on mindfulness, symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety and on their associations. Data came from a longitudinal twin/sibling study (G1219) comprising 862 individuals (age range 22–32 years, 66% females). Less mindfulness was associated with greater symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety (r =.22-.48). Of the mindfulness subscales, ‘nonjudging of inner experience’ was most strongly associated with the other traits. Overall mindfulness was largely influenced by non-shared environmental factors (E =.72) although familial influences played a role for overall mindfulness, as well as for the ‘acting with awareness’ and ‘describing’ subscales. The genetic correlations between overall mindfulness and symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety ranged from.32 to.75 (but were non-significant), while the shared environmental correlations ranged from −.78 to.79 (also non-significant). The non-shared environmental influences between these three variables were moderately, significantly correlated (rE =.21-.55).
