Among more than 3,000 Chinese college students, higher mindfulness was linked to fewer negative emotions, less rumination, and greater resilience. Rumination and resilience each partially explained how mindfulness relates to negative emotions, and they also worked together as a chain: mindfulness was associated with lower rumination and higher resilience, which in turn were associated with fewer negative emotions. The findings suggest that mindfulness may reduce negative emotions both directly and indirectly by decreasing rumination and strengthening resilience.
