Mindfulness reduces information avoidance
通过随机对照试验发现，每天15分钟、持续两周的正念冥想练习能减少人们回避可能引发担忧或后悔信息的倾向，情绪调节可能是其作用机制。
Mindfulness meditation has been found to influence various important outcomes such as health, stress, depression, productivity, and altruism. We report evidence from a randomised-controlled trial on a previously untested effect of mindfulness: information avoidance. We find that a relatively short mindfulness treatment (two weeks, 15 min a day) is able to induce a reduction in information avoidance — that is, avoiding information that may cause worry or regret. Supplementary evidence supports mindfulness’s effects on emotion regulation as a possible mechanism for the effect.
