Contemporary conceptualizations of mindfulness refer to paying attention to the present moment with an open and nonjudgmental attitude. Empirical research is increasingly focusing on mindfulness as a dynamic and multifaceted state that can fluctuate across situations and time. The present study aimed to extend existing knowledge by using experience-sampling methodology to examine state-level mindfulness, pleasant/unpleasant event occurrence, and affective well-being in the everyday lives of middle-aged and older adults. A community-based sample of 157 participants aged 53-86 (M = 69.36, SD = 5.80) was recruited in May-June 2020. Participants completed assessments of multidimensional state mindfulness, hassle and uplift occurrence, and positive and negative affect on their smartphones, four times a day over 10 consecutive days. (Total observations: 4,761; M = 30.32, SD = 8.78.) Multilevel models indicated that the state mindfulness-facets present-moment attention and nonjudgmental acceptance were predictive of greater affective well-being in older adulthood. Furthermore, nonjudgmental acceptance appeared to buffer affective reactivity to daily hassles, and importantly, this effect was stronger at older ages. Mindful states did not appear to provide any further boost to uplift-related mood. The findings suggest that occasions characterized by relatively high present-moment attention and nonjudgmental acceptance may contribute to enhanced emotional well-being in later adulthood. Furthermore, adopting a nonevaluative and accepting orientation toward momentary experiences may be a psychological strategy that has particular utility for mitigating emotional reactivity to daily stressors with increasing age. Future research should investigate multidimensional state mindfulness and affective well-being for middle-aged and older adults participating in mindfulness-based interventions.

阐述中老年人日常生活中的正念和情感幸福。

正念的当代概念是指以开放和非评判的态度关注当下。实证研究越来越关注正念作为一种动态和多方面的状态，可以随情况和时间而波动。本研究旨在通过使用经验抽样方法来扩展现有知识，以检查中老年人日常生活中的状态级正念、愉快/不愉快事件的发生以及情感幸福感。2020 年 5 月至 6 月招募了 157 名年龄在 53-86 岁（M = 69.36，SD = 5.80）的参与者的社区样本。参与者完成了对多维状态正念、烦恼和提升的发生以及对智能手机的正面和负面影响的评估，连续10天每天四次。（总观察：4,761；M = 30.32，SD = 8.78。）多层次模型表明，状态正念方面的当下注意力和非判断性接受可以预测成年后更大的情感幸福感。此外，不加评判的接受似乎可以缓冲对日常麻烦的情感反应，重要的是，这种效果在年龄较大时更强。正念状态似乎没有进一步促进与提升相关的情绪。研究结果表明，以当下相对较高的注意力和非判断性接受为特征的场合可能有助于增强成年后期的情绪健康。此外，对瞬间体验采取非评价性和接受性取向可能是一种心理策略，它对于减轻随着年龄增长而对日常压力源的情绪反应具有特殊效用。未来的研究应该调查参与基于正念干预的中老年人的多维状态正念和情感幸福感。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
