TL;DR: Across both correlational and intervention studies, there is consistent support for mindfulness predicting more autonomous forms of motivation and, among correlational studies, less controlled motivation and amotivation.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors disambiguate the qualitative and quantitative components of mindfulness profiles, examine whether including nonattachment as a subcomponent of mindfulness alters the profiles, and evaluate the extent to which the person-centred approach to understanding mindfulness adds predictive power beyond a more parsimonious variable-centered approach.

TL;DR: Network analysis is used to reexamine this intrinsic-extrinsic distinction, illustrating how novel candidate aspirations can be mapped along this dimension using innovative methods.

TL;DR: Using the lens of self-determination theory, this article reviewed evidence indicating that mindfulness and motivation are both highly researched topics of great consequence for individual and social wellness. And they found that self-determined individuals are more likely to be more motivated.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that people are more willing to assent to authority regarding contact tracing insofar as their data safety can be assured, and that the provision of data safety assurances may be key in affecting people's intentions to use contact tracing technology, an effect they found in both samples regardless of whether messages were framed as autonomy-supportive or controlling.
