Abstract

We examined whether relativity in stream-of-consciousness writing is related to dispositional mindfulness and well-being. Use of relativity words was positively related to the nonjudging acceptance dimension of mindfulness and negatively related to struggling with and becoming entangled in thoughts and emotions. Relativity language was also positively related to psychological well-being.
