The Relationship between Mindfulness, Bedtime Procrastination, Smartphone Addiction and General Well Being in Emerging Adults

Abstract

The study included 111 Indian individuals aged 18-29. Results showed a significant positive correlation between Mindfulness and General Well-being in emerging adults. Mindfulness also displayed a significant negative correlation with Smartphone Addiction and Bedtime Procrastination. Bedtime Procrastination and Smartphone Addiction exhibited a significant positive correlation. Additionally, Bedtime Procrastination and General Well-being had a significant negative relationship, as did Smartphone Addiction and General Well-being. Regression analysis indicated that Mindfulness significantly predicted General Well-being, while Bedtime Procrastination and Smartphone Addiction did not. The study implies that smartphone addiction and bedtime procrastination can lead to dissatisfaction and disconnection, negatively impacting overall well-being. Increasing self-control through mindfulness training is recommended to combat these behaviors and enhance general well-being.
