A Prospective Study Examining the Relationship Between Dispositional Mindfulness and Insomnia Among Male Prisoners in Iran: The Mediating Effect of Psychological Distress and Perceived Stress

Depression, anxiety, and stress mediate the associations between internet gaming disorder, insomnia, and quality of life during the COVID-19 outbreak

“…Consequently, they may be preoccupied with online activities and become socially withdrawn from the real world which may cause significant psychological and emotional distress when trying to stop at a later point (Andreassen, 2015;Chen et al, 2020b;Kraut et al, 1998;Yu & Shek, 2018;Zaremohzzabieh et al, 2014). It then becomes understandable why higher levels of IGD are associated with insomnia because individuals with addictive behaviors usually report higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress (Chen et al, 2020a;Griffiths et al, 2017;Männikkö et al, 2020), and individuals with higher levels of these conditions find it more difficult to sleep properly (Poorebrahim et al, 2020;Wong et al, 2020).

“…Research has documented a positive relationship between dispositional mindfulness and positive outcomes as wellbeing and resilience (e.g., Jha et al., 2017 ; Nila et al., 2016 ), even in highly stressful environments and situations (e.g., Adarves‐Yorno et al., 2020 ; Götmann & Bechtoldt, 2021 ; Seear & Vella‐Brodrick, 2013 ).

Evidence on the beneficial effects of state mindfulness is more limited.…”
