The current research investigated whether various aspects of mindfulness were differentially associated with risk preference in decision-making. In Studies 1 and 2, attention and present-focus aspects of trait mindfulness were associated with lower risk preference in making monetary gains. In Study 3, participants completed either a mindfulness training or listened to a comparable control recording. Compared to the control condition, subjects in the mindfulness condition were more risk-averse in making choices for monetary gains. The attention and present-focus aspects of state mindfulness mediated this connection. Study 4 introduced a loss framing, where attention and present-focus no longer associated with lower risk preference, but awareness and acceptance aspects of trait mindfulness associated with higher risk preference in avoiding monetary losses. The results suggest that different aspects of mindfulness have potential for mitigating risk preference, but such potential is limited depending on the framing of a decision context.

有意识的人更厌恶风险吗？特质和状态正念对决策风险偏好的影响

目前的研究调查了正念的各个方面是否与决策中的风险偏好存在差异。在研究 1 和 2 中，特质正念的注意力和当下关注方面与较低的获得金钱收益的风险偏好相关。在研究 3 中，参与者要么完成了正念训练，要么听了类似的对照录音。与控制条件相比，正念条件下的受试者在为金钱收益做出选择时更加规避风险。状态正念的注意力和当前焦点方面调节了这种联系。研究 4 引入了损失框架，其中注意力和当前焦点不再与较低的风险偏好相关联，但特质正念的意识和接受方面与避免金钱损失的更高风险偏好相关。结果表明，正念的不同方面都有减轻风险偏好的潜力，但这种潜力是有限的，取决于决策背景的框架。
