Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study by Langer and colleagues indicated that mindfulness can occur when people are less automatic in their behaviors and seek novelty. This suggests that people have some control over the automaticity of their behavior, and can increase mindfulness by deliberately seeking out new experiences and avoiding automatic routines. The study did not suggest that automaticity of behavior typically changes when there is danger, that uncertainty increases automaticity, or that people have little control over automaticity.
