    Abstract:

    Mindfulness can be defined as the intentional awareness of individual’s physical and mental experiences with a non-judgmental attitude. From the perspective of dual-process theories, Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) show observable effects on the different components of impulsivity. On the one hand, MBIs help to diminish the driving forces caused by the socioemotional system: by reducing individual reward evaluation and expectation, alleviating the distress and negative emotion, and weakening the connection and intensity of automatic responses. On the other hand, MBIs enhance the controlling force of impulsivity and mitigate the action/cognitive impulsivity regulated by the cognitive control system: by enhancing individual's capabilities of cognitive control and inhibitory control, and diminishing waiting impulsivity. Due to different processing sequence and intensity of the two components of impulsivity, MBIs facilitate the positive interactions between the two components, minimize the imbalance between the driving forces and the controlling force, providing a favorable buffer for individuals to better respond to their own and external stimuli. In sum, MBIs are effective intervention means to reduce individual’s impulsivity.
