“…Yet, relations between dispositional mindfulness (DM) and the Five Factor Model of Personality (FFM) have not been definitively established. Previous investigations of these relationships have yielded inconsistent results (Giluk, 2009; Rau & Williams, 2016). Notably different estimates of the strength of association between DM and several of the BF personality factors have been reported (e.g., Extraversion: Baer et al, 2006 vs. Tucker et al, 2014; Openness to Experience: Gootzeit et al, 2014 vs. Hollis-Walker et al, 2011).…”

“…While a number of factors could potentially contribute to this variability, varying approaches to measuring DM are believed to underlie these equivocal findings (Giluk, 2009; Rau & Williams, 2016). Specifically, it may be that unidimensional (i.e., Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale; Brow & Ryan, 2003) and multidimensional (i.e., Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire; Baer et al, 2006) DM scales are differentially related to the BF.…”

“…Previous research has examined associations between DM and five factors of personality (see Rau & Williams, 2016), although not from a cybernetic perspective. The following sections will provide brief descriptions of each of the BF factors of personality, Then, each personality factor's cybernetic role will be presented along with a brief discussion of how DM may influence that role.…”

“…However, positive relationships between extraversion and DM appear most common, and have been interpreted to result from both constructs evidencing positive associations with well-being and positive affect (Giluk, 2009; Rau & Williams, 2016). Well-being and positive affect are intimately linked with reward sensitivity.…”

Dispositional mindfulness (DM), or the tendency to attend to present moment experience, may have important implications for the structure of human personality. However, relationships between DM and the Big Five Model of Personality (BF) have not been definitively established. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to extend previous investigations of the relationship between DM and the BF, utilizing a larger sample of studies, attending to relational inconsistencies potentially associated with alternative methods of operationalizing DM, conducting the first meta-analysis of the DM subdomains in relation to the BF, and situating the results in a cybernetic model. Results indicate that neuroticism evidenced the strongest, negative relationship with DM and conscientiousness evidenced the strongest, positive relationship with DM, suggesting the mindful personality may be characterized principally by emotional stability and conscientious self-regulation - potentially reflective of an inclination towards the personality metatrait stability. Measurement differences were also observed, with the mindful personality arrived at through the FFMQ differing to some extent from the mindful personality emerging from the MAAS. Broadly, the mindful personality associated with the FFMQ appears to reflect greater personality complexity, with the FFMQ evidencing associations with all five personality factors while the MAAS appears primarily linked with only three personality factors (Neuroticism, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness). Examination of the relationships between the BF and DM at the facet level also suggest unique patterns of association between the DM facets and each of the personality factors.

“…V vsebinsko široki študiji sta Rau in Williams (2016) kritično pregledali konstrukt čuječnosti kot poteze z vidikov zgodovinskega konteksta, operacionalnih definicij, merjenja ter konvergentne in diskriminativne veljavnosti, upoštevajoč različna področja osebnosti. Kar zadeva zgradbo konstrukta, sta avtorici zaključili, da čuječnost odraža dvoje: fokus pozornosti ter kvaliteto pozornosti.…”

Struktura konstrukta čuječnosti: zavedanje doživljanja in sprejemanje doživljanja

Povzetek: Čuječnost je v zadnjih dveh desetletjih v psihologiji in sorodnih vedah doživela močan razmah, vendar se je razmeroma malo raziskav osredotočilo na sestavo samega konstrukta. Namen prispevka je predstaviti, medsebojno primerjati ter kritično ovrednotiti različne vrste modelov konstrukta čuječnosti. Enodimenzionalni modeli opredeljujejo čuječnost kot zgolj posameznikovo zavedanje svojega trenutnega doživljanja. Dvodimenzionalni modeli čuječnosti vključujejo zavedanje trenutnega doživljanja ter sprejemanje tega doživljanja. V večdimenzionalnih modelih pa je čuječnost pojmovana kot konstrukt s tremi ali več faktorji. Problem enodimenzionalnih modelov je, da ne opredeljujejo kvalitete zavedanja, saj je lahko v določenih primerih posameznikovo samozavedanje tudi kontraproduktivno (npr. pretirano samokritično). Pri multidimenzionalnih modelih sta problematična precejšnje vsebinsko prekrivanje faktorjev ter vključitev pojavov, ki morda niso del same čuječnosti. Kot najustreznejši se tako izkažejo dvodimenzionalni modeli, ki najbolj jedrnato in hkrati dovolj kompleksno zajamejo vsebino konstrukta.Ključne besede: čuječnost, zavedanje, sprejemanje, nepresojanje, faktorska strukturaThe structure of the mindfulness construct:Awareness and acceptance of experienceMihael Černetič * Faculty of Psychotherapy Science of the Sigmund Freud University in Ljubljana, SloveniaAbstract: Mindfulness experienced a strong upswing in the last two decades in psychology and related disciplines, but relatively little research focused on the structure of the construct. The aim of this article is to present, compare, and critically examine different types of models of the mindfulness construct. Unidimensional models conceptualize mindfulness merely as an individual's awareness of their current experience. Bidimensional models of mindfulness include awareness of current experience and acceptance of that experience. In multidimensional models, mindfulness is conceptualized as a construct composed of three or more factors. The problem of unidimensional models is that they do not define the quality of awareness, as sometimes individual's self-awareness may be counterproductive (e.g., excessively self-critical). Multidimensional models are problematic due to considerable overlaps of factors and the inclusion of phenomena that may not be integral parts of the mindfulness construct. The most appropriate may thus be bidimensional models of mindfulness which seem to be sufficiently concise and at the same time capture the content of the construct on a sufficient level of complexity.

Dispositional Mindfulness and Personal Distress as Predictors of Counseling Self‐Efficacy

The authors examined the influence of dispositional mindfulness and personal distress on counseling self-efficacy among 162 counseling students. Results indicated that dispositional mindfulness and personal distress accounted for significant variance in counseling self-efficacy. These findings suggest that internal dispositions may facilitate or hinder counseling self-efficacy in counseling students.
