The role of mindfulness in resilience of undergraduate students

Abstract

Mindfulness and resilience have been found to share a strong relationship with psychological wellbeing among students. Literature indicates a strong link between the two as well. The current research aims to study the role of mindfulness on resilience along with its different dimensions among undergraduate students living in Noida region of Uttar Pradesh-India. For this study, two hundred undergraduate participants ageing between eighteen to twenty-five years (mean age = 19.53, SD= 1.07) were purposively selected. Result revealed a significant association between mindfulness and resilience and, a significant impact of mindfulness on resilience too. Out of the eight, seven dimensions were significantly associated except one which was the sense of control. Similarly, a significant impact of mindfulness was found on different dimensions of resilience except for the sense of control. Findings support the fact that these two aspects can work together and ease down development-related strains or efforts leading to many more benefits.
