Research on mind-wandering, self-regulation and mindfulness have mostly been undertaken independently of each other with little attempt to examine direct relationships between them. Although they seem to be related phenomena, there exists no unifying framework that helps to systematize all the current conceptualizations, definitions and current state of the art research on mind-wandering, self-regulation and mindfulness (MacKenzie et al. 2012). There exists no standardized definition of mind-wandering, self-regulation and mindfulness within each of the distinct area of research, let alone a universally agreed conceptualization that integrates all three phenomena. To reach a better understanding of the interconnectedness between mind-wandering, self-regulation and mindfulness, it is important that research attempts to converge our distinct understanding of these phenomena into a unifying theoretical framework.
