Three distinct profiles of dispositional mindfulness were identified in a sample of 604 adults recruited online. The profiles—Judgmentally Describing, Low Mindfulness, and Non-Judgmentally Describing—differed in their associations with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Women were more likely than men to belong to the Low Mindfulness profile. People in the Low Mindfulness group reported the highest levels of anxiety and depression, while those in the Non-Judgmentally Describing group reported the lowest. These findings suggest that considering mindfulness profiles could help tailor mindfulness-based interventions to individual needs.
