The Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Training on Psychological Well-Being and Attentional Focus in Students

Abstract

In recent years, mindfulness has gained increasing attention as an innovative approach in educational psychology. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based training on psychological well-being and attentional focus among students. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group was employed. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received a structured mindfulness training program, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using validated measures of psychological well-being and attentional focus and analyzed using analysis of covariance. The findings demonstrated that mindfulness-based training significantly improved students’ psychological well-being and attentional focus. These results suggest that mindfulness interventions can serve as effective tools for enhancing mental health and cognitive functioning in educational contexts.
