Mindsets brought to the marketplace by consumers determine the decisions they make and, ultimately, their well-being. Mindsets based on a comprehensive set of mindfulness skills can provide a broader lens to understanding life's varied situations to make better choices. Considering research on mindfulness and Buddhist psychology, this study introduced an expanded mindful mindset comprising nine mindfulness skills: awareness, compassion for others, self-compassion, curiosity, energy, gratitude, inner calm, focus, and discernment. A national online survey, along with structural equation modeling, was conducted to examine differences in the narrower and expanded mindful mindsets and the relative contribution of the nine mindfulness skills to address stress and life satisfaction. The study found that a different set of mindfulness skills was required for life satisfaction and stress-reduction. Energy had the greatest impact on life satisfaction, and self-compassion had the greatest impact on stress reduction. Finally, the implications of an expanded mindful mindset were discussed.

扩展的正念心态：不同技能在减轻压力和生活满意度方面的作用

消费者带到市场的心态决定了他们做出的决定，并最终决定了他们的福祉。基于一套全面的正念技能的心态可以提供更广阔的视角来理解生活中的各种情况，从而做出更好的选择。考虑到正念和佛教心理学的研究，本研究引入了一种扩展的正念心态，包括九种正念技能：意识、对他人的同情心、自我慈悲、好奇心、能量、感恩、内心平静、专注和洞察力。进行了一项全国性在线调查，并结合结构方程模型，研究了狭义和扩展的正念思维模式之间的差异，以及九种正念技能对解决压力和生活满意度的相对贡献。研究发现，生活满意度和减轻压力需要一套不同的正念技能。能量对生活满意度的影响最大，自我同情对减轻压力的影响最大。最后，讨论了扩展正念思维的含义。
