Resumen
La conducción sin consciencia o con "la mente errante" es un hecho que experimentan uno de cada cuatro conductores, y supone realizar un trayecto sin consciencia de ello e incluso pasarse el destino previsto por estar absortos en pensamientos, problemas o planes, a lo cual se añade la sensación de no saber cómo se ha llegado. Es frecuente su aparición en conductores habituales, con experiencia y en trayectos conocidos. En el presente trabajo se abordará el papel que a este respecto puede tener Mindfulness o Atención Plena, un ámbito que ha tomado gran relevancia dentro de la Psicología en los últimos años. Considerando Mindfulness (Atención Plena) como un estado mental opuesto a la mente errante (mind-wandering), en este trabajo se presenta un programa basado en la práctica de Mindfutness centrado en mejorar la atención de los conductores con el fin de que logren conducir con atención plena, "desconectando" el modo "piloto automático".
Driving without awareness or with the "wandering mind" is a fact experienced by one out of every four drivers, and involves making a journey without being aware of it and even missing the intended destination by being absorbed in thoughts, problems or plans, to which is added the feeling of not knowing how it has reached. lt's more likety to be experienced by frequent drivers, experimented and in familiar routes. This paper will address the role that Mindfulness can play in this respect. This area has become particularly relevant in Psychology in recent years, dueto intervention programs based on this type of meditation. Considering Mindfulness as a mental state opposed to "Mind-wandering, this paper presents a program based on the practice of Mindfulness focused on improving the attention of drivers to manage to drive with fuU attention, "turning off" the "autopilot" mode.
