How mindfulness training promotes positive emotions: Dismantling acceptance skills training in two randomized controlled trials.
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Mindfulness meditation interventions-which train skills in monitoring present-moment experiences with a lens of acceptance-have shown promise for increasing positive emotions. Using a theory-based approach, we hypothesized that learning acceptance skills in mindfulness interventions helps people notice more positive experiences in daily life, and tested whether removing acceptance training from mindfulness interventions would eliminate intervention-related boosts in positive affect. In 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of stressed community adults, mindfulness skills were dismantled into 2 structurally equivalent interventions: (a) training in both monitoring and acceptance (Monitor + Accept) and (b) training in monitoring only (Monitor Only) without acceptance training. Study 1 tested 8-week group-based Monitor + Accept and Monitor Only interventions compared with a no treatment control group. Study 2 tested 2-week smartphone-based Monitor + Accept and Monitor Only interventions compared with an active control training. In both studies, end-of-day and momentary positive affect and negative affect were measured in daily life for 3 days pre- and post-intervention using ambulatory assessments. As predicted, across 2 RCTs, Monitor + Accept training increased positive affect compared with both Monitor Only and control groups. In Study 1, this effect was observed in end-of-day positive affect. In Study 2, this effect was found in both end-of-day and momentary positive affect outcomes. In contrast, all active interventions in Studies 1 and 2 decreased negative affect. These studies provide the first experimental evidence that developing an orientation of acceptance toward present-moment experiences is a central mechanism of mindfulness interventions for boosting positive emotions in daily life.

“Allowing oneself to engage and disengage with positive, negative, and neutral experiences equally may make negative experiences less overpowering (Catalino, Arenander, Epel, & Puterman, 2017), and subtle pleasant somatic sensations and emotions may become more perceptible (Farb et al., 2010).”

“In the context of mindfulness interventions, acceptance is defined in relation to present-moment experiences; while attention monitoring can be practiced without explicit acceptance training, practicing an accepting attitude toward momentary body sensations and emotions fundamentally relies on first bringing attention to these experiences.”

“Moreover, this research was conducted in a Western cultural context that values positive self-representation; Monitor+Accept mindfulness intervention effects may be more pronounced in East Asian cultural contexts where people are more prone to self-criticism (Heine & Hamamura, 2007), a tendency that acceptance training targets (e.g., Gilbert & Procter, 2006).”

Mindfulness meditation does not intentionally generate positive thoughts and feelings.

The ambulatory assessment data are missing at random, so that the multilevel models' estimates are unbiased.
“MLMs model all available data and provide unbiased estimates for data missing at random; thus, MLMs are robust to missing data.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The MO program successfully excluded acceptance-related content, so that MA and MO differ primarily in acceptance skills training.
“Of note, although the language and practices associated with acceptance were excised as much as possible from MO, the teachers embodied the acceptance and inclusion that are essential to cultivating a safe learning environment for participants.”

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 2026-10-04, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-04 (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.
