Our cross-sectional study aimed to explore the relationship between trait mindfulness and a performance measure of inhibitory control as a function of reward context operationalized by stimuli characteristics, and temporal inhibitory demands. Thirty-six individuals aged 19 to 41 filled out the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and performed a stop signal task (SST), that included both neutral (stone images) and reward-related (money images) stimuli. The SST encompassed four conditions: neutral go/neutral stop, neutral go/reward stop, reward go/neutral stop, and reward go/reward stop, requiring participants to suppress reactions either during or after encountering reward-related stimuli. The relevant index of inhibitory control is the stop signal reaction time (SSRT), a performance measure of inhibitory control. Our findings showed no notable variation in the relationship between the MAAS score and SSRT across the different conditions. However, there was an overall significant effect of MAAS score on SSRT, irrespective of condition. Results may reflect the benefit of mindfulness on inhibitory control after generalized reward exposure.

However, the psychological meaning of a left or right-sided EDA dominance is still not clear. We explored EDA lateral asymmetry as a psychophysiological marker of optimistic and pessimistic attributional style regarding success and failure in a darts competition. Bilateral EDA pattern of 230 throws of a competing pair was measured by Obimon EDA including accelerometer measurements of movements. First, we confirmed that lateral asymmetry can be measured reliably based on EDA data from both wrists. Second, we assessed attributional styles related to lateral asymmetry based on 80 individual throws. We recorded participants’ expectations regarding their upcoming performance, and their attribution of success and failure based on Seligman’s definition as optimist (internal cause attributed to success, or external cause ascribed to failure) or pessimist. The ratio of optimist and pessimist attributions was significantly different for throws with right or left-sided EDA dominance (p = 0.001). Optimistic attribution characterized 84% of right dominant, while pessimist 63% of left-dominant EDA during throws. We replicated these findings on 50 throws from 10 more individuals (p = 0.034). All individuals were right-handed. We conclude that wrist EDA can be reliably measured during physical movements, such as in a darts game. Lateral EDA asymmetry is a consistent psychophysiological marker of the attitude toward success and failure in a competitive setting, suggesting that lateral asymmetry of emotional arousal may serve as a novel psychophysiological biomarker for attribution style. Results underlie the psychophysiological relevance of bilateral arousal assessment and provide evidence-based verification for the Multiple Arousal Theory.

Substance abuse has been associated with attentional bias for drug-associated cues. Studies have shown that mindfulness may affect such attentional bias. However, there is inconsistency across studies with respect to the direction of the effect, where some studies show a positive association [2] whereas other show a negative association. The aim of the current study was to address this apparent incongruency. We argue that the discrepancy may be explained by the different components of attention that are affected by mindfulness. In the current study, we assessed the relationship between mindfulness and voluntary and stimulus driven attention, and assessed the moderating role of reward context. Methods. Participants (n=95, 30 male and 65 female) with an average age of 26 (SD = 7) performed a Visual Spatial Cueing (VSC) task with a neutral and reward condition, which yields an index of voluntary attention and stimulus-driven attention. In addition, electrophysiological resting state activity was recorded to assess asymmetry of frontal brain activity which has been associated with approach- relative to avoidance-associated behaviour. Results. Mindfulness was associated with a reduction of the benefit of cueing in terms of response time, but this effect was not moderated by reward context. Conclusions. Not specific to context, mindfulness enhanced stimulus driven attention, while decreasing voluntary attention. Hence, mindfulness seems to enhance attentional bias for task-relevant unexpected stimuli, while reducing attentional bias for task-relevant expected stimuli. We did not find evidence for a mediating role of asymmetry of frontal brain activity. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
