Abstract
Undergraduates (n=167) completed self-ratings on dispositional mindfulness, emotion regulation (emphasizing negative emotions), savoring beliefs, and anxiety symptoms. Both emotion regulation and the capacity to savor the moment mediate the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and anxiety, suggesting that mindfulness contributes to both positive and negative emotion regulation to promote mental well-being.
