- 소개/요약Mindfulness as a concept and practice has gained significant recognition, referenced and employed in both academic studies and the popular press. Broad conclusions are drawn about its relationships to other variables and its impacts or benefits. Taking an Ethnography of Communication approach, we perform a communication codes analysis on two speech communities (popular press articles and academic journal articles) to determine what each references when writing about ‘mindfulness.’ Academic articles were more likely to include explicit definitions, tending to include both ‘attention’ and ‘awareness’; popular article definitions emphasized awareness only and referenced the religious basis of mindfulness. Both academic and popular articles conflate mindfulness with meditation and delineate what it is not to offer more emphasis on what it is.
