Mindfulness may enhance acceptance by promoting a nonjudgmental and compassionate attitude towards one's experiences.
“mindfulness may enhance acceptance by promoting a nonjudgmental and compassionate attitude towards one's experiences [18, 83–85].”
From Emotion Regulation as a Mechanism of Mindfulness in Individual Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Anxiety Disorders (2024) · cites this paper as [83]
The paper’s discussion of ACT components (page unavailable) distinguishes mindfulness from acceptance and says they can work together in emotion regulation. It does not say mindfulness enhances acceptance by fostering a nonjudgmental, compassionate attitude; searches for that mechanism found no supporting passage. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
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.
