Abstract

This study examined whether an indirect path could explain the relationships between mindfulness, positive thinking, and positive affect. Path analysis tested whether specifically decentering fosters positive thinking and positive affect.
Results show decentering mediates between mindfulness and positive affect but does not mediate between mindfulness and positive thinking.
