metadata.value: The modern understanding of the processes of coping with difficult life situations, emphasizing
  the provision of subjective well-being as their function, raises the question of what factors
  ensure the final effectiveness of coping strategies. The inconsistency of the available empirical
  data on the relationship between personal and situational predictors as well as effective
  coping allows us to assume the presence of mediating variables. Their search can be centered
  both on the inclusion of parameters of a higher socio-cognitive level in the analysis, and on
  the procedural characteristics of coping, one of which is proactivity in coping. The mindfulness
  construct seems to meet both of these requirements. The article presents the results of
  the preliminary and main stages of an empirical study of the relationship between mindfulness
  and proactive coping strategies. During the preliminary stage, the questionnaire “scale
  of awareness” was adapted to correspond to the “Western” model of awareness. During the main stage, the results of the relationship of mindfulness indicators according to the “Eastern”
  and “Western” models with proactivity strategies in two samples (Moscow — Tashkent) were
  obtained, which allowed us to identify certain cultural differences. The results indicate that
  there are partial correlations between the indicators of the two mindfulness questionnaires,
  which is consistent with existing theoretical concepts and allows us to consider the two models
  of mindfulness as stages of a single process. It is shown that in both samples, indicators
  of “Western” awareness are associated with the attitude to potential difficulties as a source of
  positive experience and with reflection in the event of the occurrence of possible variants of
  behavior, cognitive assessment of one’s own resources and prediction of results, as well as with
  a proactivity strategy such as the search for instrumental support. Cross-cultural differences
  were noted on a scale corresponding to “Eastern” awareness: in the sample of Tashkent, it was
  associated with a strategy of proactive coping, and in the sample of Moscow — with reflexive
  coping. The obtained relationship between the two types of mindfulness and proactive coping
  strategies allows us to conclude that mindfulness has the potential of meta-cognitive function
  in the structure of human activity, especially in the situation of evaluating possible life difficulties.
