The present research examined the relation between trait mindfulness, self-concordance, and goal progress. We hypothesized that mindfulness would be positively associated with setting self-concordant goals (Studies 1–3), which would in turn predict greater goal progress (Studies 2 and 3). An internal mini meta-analysis (N = 1522) indicates that mindfulness had a small, positive association with self-concordant goal setting, r = 0.14, p < .001. Two longitudinal studies (Studies 2 and 3) found a small indirect effect of mindfulness on goal progress through self-concordance, although this was marginal in Study 2. In addition, Studies 2 and 3 found that mindfulness predicted increases in goal self-concordance over time. These findings provide support for the proposition that mindful people set “better” goals.

本研究检查了特质正念，自我一致性和目标进度之间的关系。我们假设正念与设定自我一致的目标（研究1-3）正相关，而后者又可以预测更大的目标进展（研究2和3）。内部微型荟萃分析（N  = 1522）表明，正念与自我协调的目标设定之间存在很小的正相关关系，r  = 0.14，p <.001。两项纵向研究（研究2和3）发现，正念通过自我一致性对目标进度产生了较小的间接影响，尽管在研究2中是微不足道的。此外，研究2和3发现，正念预测了目标自我一致性的提高。时间。这些发现为有思想的人设定“更好”目标的主张提供了支持。
