  • 소개/요약Previous research has portrayed communicative mindfulness as involving effortful cognitive processing. However, recent work in the field of psychology conceptualizes mindfulness as a quality of consciousness, and not necessarily connected to high-level effortful cognition. This study proposes a comprehensive framework for understanding communicative mindfulness that incorporates these diverse characterizations of mindfulness (i.e., effortful cognition vs. quality of consciousness). Using John Dewey's work on aesthetic experience, I argue that communicative mindfulness can be conceptualized as involving both the immediate and cognitively-mediated minding of one's present communicative situation. This conceptualization allows for the inclusion of mindful and effortful cognitive processing in a theory of communicative mindfulness, as well as for states of immediate mindfulness in communicative situations.
