简要总结
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of an 8-week mindfulness-based interventions, Mindfulness for Life (MBCT-L) on daily emotion regulation, psychological functioning, and work-related outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanism of change between mindfulness and job performance and satisfaction.
详细描述
This study investigates the mechanisms by which mindfulness training influences positive affect, job performance, and satisfaction in organizational settings. Employing a two-period crossover design, participants receive an 8-week Mindfulness for Life (MBCT-L) intervention. Guided by Mindfulness-to-Meaning theory, the investigator propose that increases in mindfulness enhance positive affect through improved decentering and positive reframing. In line with the Broaden-and-Build theory, it is hypothesized that heightened positive affect leads to better in-role job performance and higher job satisfaction by increasing psychological capital. The primary objective is to elucidate these mediational pathways, thereby advancing our understanding of how mindfulness interventions can foster improve emotion regulation and organizational functioning.

研究组 & 干预措施
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy - Life Course Adaptation (MBCT-L)
Mindfulness For Life (MBCT-L) is an adapted version of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, designed for the general population. While rooted in the original MBCT program, which was developed for preventing depressive relapse, Mindfulness for Life is tailored to increase the levels of psychological well-being, emotional resilience and mental health outcomes in non-clinical populations.
The program consist of 8 weekly sessions of 2 hours and 15 minutes, complemented by guide daily home practice. Participants are taught mindfulness meditation practices, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and experiential exercises aimed at enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation. The intervention follows the standardized 'Mindfulness for Life' curriculum, as developed by the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation (OMF), and is delivered by an instructor trained in the approach through OMF.

Wait-List Control Group
Participants in the wait-list control group will not receive the intervention during the initial study period but will be offered access to the Mindfulness for Life (MBCT-L) program after the initial phase of the study ends. For the first 8 weeks, they will not receive any structured psychological intervention as part of the study. They will continue any usual care or personal routines, an they will complete the same assements at equivalent time points.
After this initial waiting period and completion of the first follow-up assessment, participants will then begin the Mindfulness for Life (MBCT-L) program.
Wait-List Control Group Phase 2
This is the second phase of a two-period crossover study. During this phase, participants assigned to the wait-list control condition do not receive any psychological intervention or active treatment. They continue with their usual activities and complete outcome assessments. In Phase 1 of the trial, the participants assigned to this group received the MBCT-L interventions.
Mindfulness for Life - Mindfulness- Based Cognitive Therapy Adaptation (MBCT-L) Phase 2
This is the second phase of a two-period crossover study. During this phase, participants who were originally assigned to the wait-list control group now receive the MBCT-L intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Multidimensional State Mindfulness Questionnaire (MSMQ)
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention), week 8 (post-first phase), and week 16 (end of study following crossover).
This scale is used to measure daily changes in state mindfulness. Participants will self-report levels of acting with awareness, nonjudgemental acceptance and present-moment attention in the context of their work day. The Multidimensional State Mindfulness Questionnaire (MSMQ) includes 9 items, rated on a Likert-type scale, and is designed to capture mindfulness as it fluctuates over time. Data will be collected across three daily diary periods: a baseline period before any intervention, a second period following the first 8-week phase, and a final period conducted after the second 8-week phase, once the crossover is complete. This structure allows for the examination of both between-group and within-subject changes in state mindfulness associated with the intervention.
