Mindful attention appears to facilitate greater satisfaction of basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness). Recent findings suggest that nonattachment may arise from mindfulness, with nonattachment being found to mediate relationships between mindfulness and various outcomes, such as increased wellbeing. Across two undergraduate samples, nonattachment was found to partially mediate relationships between mindful attention and the perceived satisfaction of each of autonomy, competence, and relatedness with others (N = 247), and greater relative autonomous motivation for study (N = 578). The findings therefore support and extend on existing research related to mindful attention within the Self-Determination Theory literature while also adding to the growing literature on the apparent benefits of nonattachment. Future research on autonomous motivation and basic need satisfaction may therefore benefit from considering nonattachment alongside mindful attention.

注意注意力似乎可以促进对基本心理需求（即自主权，能力和亲和力）的更大满足。最近的发现表明，不依恋可能源于正念，而发现不依恋会介导正念与各种结果（例如，幸福感）之间的关系。在两个本科生样本中，发现不依恋可以部分调节正念注意力与每个人的自主性，能力和与他人的亲密感之间的关系（N  = 247），以及更大的相对自主学习动机（N = 578）。因此，这些发现支持并扩展了自决理论文献中有关正念注意力的现有研究，同时也增加了关于不依恋的明显好处的文献。因此，将来的关于自主动机和基本需求满足的研究可能会受益于考虑不依恋和正念注意。
