  • 소개/요약Abstract Neuroticism has several deleterious effects on physical health; the current research examines mindfulness as a potential mechanism of these effects. In two studies, mindfulness was a partial and significant mediator of the relation between neuroticism and physical health (operationalized as physical symptoms). Health was measured both retrospectively (Study 1) and using daily diary and longitudinal methodologies (Study 2). Those higher in neuroticism (i.e., emotional volatility) reported more physical issues, and lower levels of mindfulness (i.e., non-evaluative awareness of the present moment). In addition, the negative relation between mindfulness and physical problems was partially mediated by stress appraisals; those low in mindfulness were more likely to view typical daily events as stressful, which was then associated with higher levels of reported symptoms
