Considerations of mindlessness as a social issue are then addressed. A brief introduction to the articles in this issue follows. These articles speak to mindfulness as it relates to potential solutions to social problems. The main purpose of this issue is to offer social scientists and policy makers an alternative lens through which to view and understand the social phenomena and issues that interest them. Although the concept of mindfulness overlaps with many other constructs in psychology (a fuller discussion of this is provided in the following article, by Sternberg), it also offers some unique perspectives on how to investigate psychological processes. The concept of mindfulness and the related concept of mindlessness were introduced to social psychology more than 2 decades ago. They have been applied to many diverse areas, including psychopathology, developmental psychology, education research, political theory, and communication processes, to name a few.

The article proposes that a key decision metric for choosing among alternative problem statements is the computational complexity of the solution algorithm of alternative statements. Managerial problem statements are grouped into two classes on the basis of their computational complexity: P-type problems (canonically easy ones) and NP-type problems (hard ones). The new model of managerial cognitive choice posits that managers prefer to engage with and solve P-type problems over solving NP-type problems. The model explains common patterns of managerial reasoning and decision making, including many documented 'biases' and simplifying heuristics, and points the way to new effects and novel empirical investigations of problem solving-oriented thinking in strategic management and types of generic strategies, driven by predictions about the kinds of market-and industry-level changes that managers will or will not respond to.

Specific research questions are suggested to see how increasing mindfulness and decreasing mindlessness can work to diminish these social problems as they occur specifically in the classroom, the workplace, and the social predicament of getting old. We discuss (a) recasting some of the problems of the elderly into problems of perspective about the elderly, (b) mindful ways of dealing with increased ethnic diversity, (c) differentiating between changing the workplace work and changing the character of the work itself and (d) the advantages and ways of increasing mindfulness in the classroom. This issue of Journal of Social Issues has reviewed a diverse range of research areas that have benefited from a mindfulness perspective. In this article, we will suggest some future direction and questions for research in this area, based upon both the work of the investigators represented in this issue and some recent work in our own laboratory. We believe that mindfulness theory should enable us to change both individuals and institutions in two ways: (a) by increasing mindfulness and (b) decreasing mindlessness. The first is a direct approach aimed at implementing new programs and procedures that take as their goal an increase in our awareness of multiple

It is argued that this interpersonal biofeedback may facilitate empathy and interpersonal entrainment. We argue that music is an optimal carrier for biofeedback because it naturally regulates psychophysiology, is cross-modally associated with emotion, and can be attended to peripherally. We propose a research study to investigate the effects of interpersonal biofeedback on emotional mindreading.
