Mindfulness has been associated with enhanced coping with stress. However, it remains unclear how dispositional mindfulness impacts the nature and valence of experiences during active stressors. Across 1,001 total participants, we used cardiovascular responses from the biopsychosocial model of challenge/threat to assess the degree to which individuals cared about a stressor in the moment and had a positive versus negative psychological experience. Although we found a small association between mindfulness-particularly the acting with awareness facet-and responses consistent with caring more about the stressor (i.e., greater task engagement), we found no evidence that mindfulness was associated with exhibiting a more positive psychological response (i.e., greater challenge) during the stressor. Despite no differences in the valence of momentary experiences as a function of mindfulness, individuals higher in mindfulness self-reported more positive experiences afterward. These findings suggest that dispositional mindfulness may benefit responses to active stressors only after they have passed.

面对方面：在积极压力源期间，性格正念方面与积极的瞬时压力反应之间没有关联

正念与增强应对压力有关。然而，目前尚不清楚性格正念如何影响主动压力源期间体验的性质和效价。在总共 1,001 名参与者中，我们使用来自挑战/威胁的生物心理社会模型的心血管反应来评估个人当前关心压力源的程度以及具有积极与消极心理体验的程度。尽管我们发现正念（尤其是有意识的行为）与更加关心压力源的反应（即更大的任务投入）之间存在小的关联，但我们没有发现任何证据表明正念与表现出更积极的心理反应（即，更大的挑战）在压力源期间。尽管作为正念的函数，瞬间体验的效价没有差异，但正念水平较高的人之后自我报告的积极体验也更多。这些发现表明，只有在积极压力源过去后，气质正念才可能有益于对它们的反应。
