Emotions are not just special cases of perception or thought but a separate kind of mental state which arises through the integration of feelings of bodily processes and cognitive contents.
Not only were mindful individuals less responsive to rewarding feedback compared to others, they also showed less difference in their neural response to neutral versus rewarding feedback.
The findings also reflect further clinical research that supports the notion of accepting one's emotions is an important indicator of mental well-being.
The research was published this week in the journal Emotion.
