: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.

: Ethical approval was given by the School of Psychology Human Ethics Committee under delegated authority of Victoria University of Wellington’s Human Ethics Committee. All participants provided consent to the current study by responding to a consent question presented as part of the study in the affirmative.

: This study was pre-registered prior to the end of the data collection and analysis and our time-stamped predictions made available on the OSF. The pre-registered code and data to reproduce the analyses, a table describing the proposed mechanisms and references, a full model table with all results including longitudinal relationships between all the personality trait variables and mindfulness variables on all time points is available on OSF ().We also provided an additional data set containing a subsample of participants on the OSF that we used to validate the short version of the FFMQ against the long version. The data set contains several further scales that might be of interest to researchers on mindfulness or personality, and we invite interested readers to use this data in their own analysis.
