- Abstract
Given the broad impact of mindfulness on mental health and well-being, achieving a full understanding of the nature and origins of dispositional mindfulness is a top priority in research. With a sample of 291 individuals, we investigated whether 3 central dispositional factors (i.e., executive control, impulsivity, and neuroticism) predicted dispositional mindfulness at its facets level, after controlling for confounding demographic variables. Executive control was assessed with an experimental task, whereas the other dispositional factors, including mindfulness, were evaluated using questionnaires. Results of path analyses indicated that executive control positively predicted nonreactivity, whereas impulsivity negatively predicted acting with awareness and nonreactivity. Neuroticism was negatively related to a broader spectrum of mindfulness facets. Our findings differentiate the role of 3 central dispositional factors in relation to dispositional mindfulness and further highlight the importance of executive control, impulsivity, and neuroticism in individuals' tendency to inhibit their oversensitive reactions.
