Affect spin refers to shifts in emotional states over time; it captures people's reactivity to affective events. Recent evidence suggests that affect spin has costs for both organizations and for employees, yet little is known about the antecedents of affect spin and possibilities to reduce it. The present study builds on existing research by examining mindfulness as an antecedent of affect spin in employees. Specifically, we hypothesized that mindfulness practice reduces affect spin over time. We also expected that levels of affect spin are positively related to emotional exhaustion and negatively to job satisfaction, both at the between- and the within-person level of analysis. Finally, we hypothesized that decreases in affect spin due to mindfulness practice are associated with lower levels of emotional exhaustion and higher levels of job satisfaction. To examine trajectories of affect spin over time, we tested our hypotheses in a randomized controlled mindfulness intervention study (with a wait-list control group; total N = 173 individuals) using experience sampling methods over the course of a month. Results revealed that mindfulness practice led to gradual decreases in affect spin over the course of the study. As expected, between-person differences in affect spin were positively related to emotional exhaustion and negatively to job satisfaction. However, affect spin was not related to well-being outcomes at the within-person level and decreases in affect spin over time were also not associated with levels of emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction.

停止旋转：正念练习在减少情感旋转中的作用。

影响旋转是指情绪状态随时间的变化；它捕捉人们对情感事件的反应。最近的证据表明，影响旋转对组织和员工都有成本，但人们对影响旋转的前因和减少它的可能性知之甚少。本研究建立在现有研究的基础上，将正念作为员工情感旋转的前因进行检验。具体来说，我们假设正念练习会随着时间的推移减少影响旋转。我们还预计，在人与人之间和人内分析层面上，情感自旋的水平与情绪耗竭呈正相关，与工作满意度呈负相关。最后，我们假设，由于正念练习而导致的情感旋转减少与较低水平的情绪疲惫和较高水平的工作满意度有关。为了检验情绪随时间变化的轨迹，我们在一个月的过程中使用经验抽样方法在一项随机对照正念干预研究（有一个等待名单控制组；总共 N = 173 人）中测试了我们的假设。结果显示，在研究过程中，正念练习导致情感旋转逐渐减弱。正如预期的那样，人与人之间的情感旋转差异与情绪耗竭呈正相关，而与工作满意度呈负相关。然而，情感旋转与个人层面的幸福感结果无关，随着时间的推移，情感旋转的减少也与情绪疲惫和工作满意度水平无关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
