: Drawing from the mindfulness framework and the broaden-and-build theory, this study investigates the extent to which mindfulness influences loneliness and whether the relation is mediated by positive and negative affect.: Data were collected from 748 retired older adults aged 60 and above in Chengdu, China in 2022. Loneliness and mindfulness were measured by the UCLA loneliness scale and by the short-form version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, while the positive and negative affect was assessed by the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule.: The results of this study show that mindfulness was positively associated with positive affect (β = 0.37, <.001), negatively related to negative affect (β=-0.21, <.001) and loneliness (β=-0.13, <.001), and had an indirect effect on loneliness positive and negative affect (β=-0.20, <.001).: The findings suggest that mindfulness could be a positive resource for improving mental health and reducing loneliness among retired older adults in China.
