Abstract: The present study investigated whether dispositional mindlessness, or the tendency to experience attention lapses, predicts improved cortisol recovery to acute stress. Individuals who reported high mindlessness and low post-task rumination exhibited the greatest post-stressor recovery. The study discusses implications for research that measures mindfulness as the absence of mindlessness.
