Abstract

Research into subjective well-being (SWB) focuses on conducive life conditions, healthy cognitive-affective processes and adaptive behaviours, however, in this model, well-being fluctuates based on changing mental and physical phenomena. This inquiry explores the possibility that we can have a nondual experience of well-being that is unaffected by such movements and investigates if the literature supports this. The assertion in traditional mindfulness that the sense of self is constructed and responsible for such fluctuations is explored, along with what evidence there is that mindfulness practices deliver relevant cognitive and behavioural correlates associated with such a way of being. Proposed preconditions include (a) nondual awareness or the perception of no-self; (b) increased positive affect, decreased negative affect, and increased self-lessness; (c) increased capacity to maintain (or protect) well-being including heightened emotional self-regulation and resilience to aversive stimuli. Research findings provide some evidence that the sense of self can be both constructed and deconstructed, and that mindfulness training may target psychological dimensions that could contribute to an experience of well-being that transcends the impact of life conditions. Recommendations are made for a collaborative relationship between SWB research and mindfulness to expand the inquiry into possible causes and conditions of ‘nondual well-being’.

正念与非双重幸福——我们可以保持快乐的证据是什么?
主观幸福感(SWB)的研究重点是有利的生活条件、健康的认知情感过程和适应性行为,然而,在该模型中,幸福感会随着心理和身体现象的变化而波动。这项调查探讨了我们可以有一种不受此类运动影响的非情感幸福体验的可能性,并调查了文献是否支持这一点。探讨了传统正念中关于自我意识是构建的并对这种波动负责的断言,以及有什么证据表明正念实践提供了与这种存在方式相关的相关认知和行为相关性。提出的先决条件包括(a)非自我意识或对无自我的感知;(b) 积极情感增加,消极情感减少,自我缺失增加;(c) 保持(或保护)幸福感的能力增强,包括增强情绪自我调节和对厌恶刺激的恢复力。研究结果提供了一些证据,证明自我意识可以被构建和解构,正念训练可以针对心理层面,有助于超越生活条件影响的幸福体验。建议在SWB研究和正念之间建立合作关系,以扩大对“非性幸福”的可能原因和条件的调查。

期刊介绍: Review of General Psychology seeks to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual, or methodological articles that cross-cut the traditional subdisciplines of psychology. The journal contains articles that advance theory, evaluate and integrate research literatures, provide a new historical analysis, or discuss new methodological developments in psychology as a whole. Review of General Psychology is especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between subdisciplines in psychology as well as related fields or that focus on topics that transcend traditional subdisciplinary boundaries.
