AI-extracted from the abstract| Characteristics | Observational study using dynamic structural equation modeling |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults in daily life (ecological momentary assessment) |
| Topics | Meditation |
| Key findings | Momentary mindfulness was positively associated with positive affect and negatively associated with negative affect, with self-control mediating these relationships, suggesting mindfulness enhances emotional states partly through self-control. |
