Purpose

This study aimed to detect the relationships between mindfulness and events participation, and then between the later and psychological empowerment.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed model's underlying hypotheses were empirically tested with data collected through an online survey addressed to a convenience sample of frequent leisure participants (n = 199). The authors applied the structural equation model (SEM) to confirm the aforementioned relationships. To assess the adequacy of the psychometric properties of the measures, the authors performed a confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model, with a maximum likelihood estimation method.

Findings

Under the effects of the lockdown period environment, the results express a positive relationship between a mindful state of mind – related to observation/attention – and the yearnings and perceptions about the participation in events. This relationship for consistency was proven to be moderated by the perception of the participation importance to the individual subjective well-being/mental health. Due to participation insights, there was a positive effect on psychological empowerment, supporting the relationship that had been hypothesized.

Originality/value

The authors propose and test a new model that contributes to the theory and examines how mindfulness behavior can effect more alluring and intense participation in events and what are the anticipated outcomes in terms of psychological empowerment.

COVID-19 封锁后：关于正念感受对个人户外生活方式和赋权影响的探索性研究

目的

本研究旨在探讨正念与事件参与之间的关系，以及后者与心理赋权之间的关系。

设计/方法论/途径

所提出的模型的基本假设通过针对经常休闲参与者的便利样本（n  = 199）的在线调查收集的数据进行了实证检验。作者应用结构方程模型（SEM）来证实上述关系。为了评估测量的心理测量特性的充分性，作者使用最大似然估计方法对测量模型进行了验证性因素分析。

发现

在封锁期间环境的影响下，结果表明，与观察/注意力相关的正念心态与对参与活动的渴望和看法之间存在正相关关系。事实证明，这种一致性关系可以通过参与对个人主观幸福感/心理健康的重要性的认知来调节。由于参与洞察，对心理赋权产生了积极影响，支持了假设的关系。

原创性/价值

作者提出并测试了一种新模型，该模型有助于该理论，并研究正念行为如何影响更有吸引力和更强烈的事件参与，以及心理赋权方面的预期结果。
