Mechanisms of mindfulness training: Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT
Open accessAbstract
Despite evidence linking trait mindfulness and mindfulness training with a broad range of effects, still little is known about its underlying active mechanisms. Mindfulness is commonly defined as (1) the ongoing monitoring of present-moment experience (2) with an orientation of acceptance. Building on conceptual, clinical, and empirical work, we describe a testable theoretical account to help explain mindfulness effects on cognition, affect, stress, and health outcomes. Specifically, Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT) posits that (1), by enhancing awareness of one's experiences, the skill of attention monitoring explains how mindfulness improves cognitive functioning outcomes, yet this same skill can increase affective reactivity. Second (2), by modifying one's relation to monitored experience, acceptance is necessary for reducing affective reactivity, such that attention monitoring and acceptance skills together explain how mindfulness improves negative affectivity, stress, and stress-related health outcomes. We discuss how MAT contributes to mindfulness science, suggest plausible alternatives to the account, and offer specific predictions for future research.

The literature lacks a theory connecting the psychological mechanisms of mindfulness to the many reported mindfulness-related outcomes.
“Yet, despite these advances, still little theory links the psychological mechanisms of mindfulness with the broad variety of mindfulness-related outcomes reported in the literature.”
The paper relies on this without support.
There is little experimental work directly testing MAT.
“it is a new theoretical account and as such there is little experimental work directly testing it.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Self-report measures of monitoring and acceptance meaningfully, though imperfectly, reflect the skills developed through mindfulness training.
“assuming meaningful (albeit imperfect) associations between the development of monitoring and acceptance skills through mindfulness training and the self-reporting of these same skills.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
In the reviewed samples, the tendency to monitor experience does not necessarily correspond to a tendency to accept experience.
“assuming that the tendency to monitor experience in the samples reviewed does not necessarily correspond to a tendency to accept those experiences.”

The FFMQ Observe, Nonreactivity, and Nonjudgment subscales validly measure attention monitoring and acceptance skills.
“We also only reviewed results from mindfulness subscales that clearly map onto attention monitoring and acceptance.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Acceptance cannot be trained without some target object to monitor.
“it’s not clear how acceptance would be trained in the absence of a target object to monitor with acceptance”

Acceptance is not central to every account described
MinorThe claim that acceptance is central to all mindfulness accounts conflicts with the paper's description of accounts that treat it as a separate construct rather than a central component.
“since attention monitoring and acceptance are central features of all mindfulness accounts”
“some Buddhist accounts of mindfulness as ‘clear awareness’ focus on attention monitoring as a sole component, and consider acceptance to be a separate distinct construct (rather than a central component of mindfulness; Desbordes et al., 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
