Abstract Children of parents with mental illness are more likely to experience
mental health concerns, compared to other children in the community. Thus, it is

Abstract Few studies have comprehensively explored the mechanism of the
association between dispositional mindfulness and the process of internalization
and externalization. Given that dispositional mindfulness can enhance the level of

negatively associated with anxiety and aggressiveness after controlling for gender,
age, and whether they are the only child in family. Additionally, self-compassion… More >
