Summary

This study will examine the effect of mindful breathing and the mechanism of positive spirals of mindfulness using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and actigraphy. Previous studies have shown a positive spiral between state mindfulness and positive affect (Du, An, Ding, Zhang, \& Xu, 2018). The mindful coping model (Garland, Gaylord, \& Fredrickson, 2011) suggested that the state of mindfulness can lead to reappraisal and reframing of their stressful circumstances which further lead to positive emotion and reduced stress. These positive effects will affect the next cycle and hence form a positive spiral. Since mindful breathing was an effective practice for immediate decentering (Feldman, Greeson, \& Senville, 2010), it will be used as the manipulation of state mindfulness. Besides, there is very limited research on the associations between these constructs using EMA and actigraphy. Therefore, this study will explore this association by manipulating the state of mindfulness with mindful breathing using EMA.
