摘要

Objectives

Existing theories propose the mechanisms that link dispositional mindfulness with eudaimonic well-being through the self-regulation of cognition, emotions, and behavior. However, further empirical research is required to integrate and compare these mechanisms. Therefore, this study employed network analysis to elucidate the relationships among dispositional mindfulness, self-regulation, and eudaimonic well-being at the element level, identifying central elements (bridge nodes) and central mechanisms (edges connecting bridge nodes). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to further validate these central mechanisms.

Method

Participants were 447 undergraduates from three universities in northeast China who were aged 17–30 years. They completed questionnaires assessing dispositional mindfulness, eudaimonic well-being, decentering, self-compassion, selflessness, savoring the moment, cognitive reappraisal, behavioral goals, and behavioral motivation. Network analysis and SEM were used for analysis.

Results

Network analysis showed that decentering had the highest bridge centrality; savoring the moment, describing, self-compassion, and acting with awareness were also bridge nodes. Savoring the moment was the only node positively linked to both intrinsic goals and autonomous motivation, and self-compassion was the only node negatively linked to both extrinsic goals and controlled motivation. SEM showed that describing and acting with awareness predicted eudaimonic well-being, which was mediated by decentering, savoring the moment, and self-compassion.

Conclusion

If the network of dispositional mindfulness, self-regulation, and eudaimonic well-being is assumed to have a causal structure, mindfulness training should strengthen its elements by emphasizing describing, acting with awareness, and the metacognitive mode of decentering, while combining these with self-compassion when facing stress and savoring the moment when experiencing positive events.
