Aesthetic preference has always been considered to be subjective and its influences have been studied for a long time. One of the most discussed is the relationship between individual traits and aesthetic preference. Although some traits have been proven to contribute to aesthetic preferences, the exact mechanism of their influence is unclear. The research on the relationship between trait mindfulness and traits has become more refined, and some of these traits, such as spatial perception and memory, have been shown to be related to aesthetic preferences. Thus, it seems feasible to improve trait levels through mindfulness training to influence aesthetic preference, which means that the relationship between trait mindfulness and aesthetic preference is worth studying.
