The current study examined how brief mindfulness meditation training affects impulsive behaviors and their underlying mechanisms using a randomized controlled design with smartphone-based online interventions. A total of 70 participants who were identified low level participated in the study. Participants randomly assigned to three groups: (monitor + acceptance, n = 24), monitor-only (n 23), no-intervention control which groups required 10 min daily for 7-days intervention. These established based on Monitor Acceptance Theory. completed measurements about cognitive impulsivity (measured Stroop tasks), motoric Go/No-go decision-making Delay Discounting tasks) at pre-test, post-test (after 1 week training), follow-up (half month after end training). results revealed that post-test, group showed significantly reduced reaction times Go/No-Go tasks compared monitor group, indicating stronger impulse inhibition abilities participants. Compared groups, did not show improved post-test. At follow-up, all indicated have sustained effects. suggests acceptance produced momentarily de-automation effect some behaviors, demonstrating enhanced abilities. emphasizes significance dimension training, offering valid methods empirical evidence mitigating through training. is preregistered.
