청소년의 마음챙김과 긍정심리 및 부정심리 특성 간의 관계

초록

This study was to examine adolescents' mindfulness (MAAS and FFMQ) and to identify predictors of adolescents' positive psychological factors (psychological well-being, happiness, and gratitude) and negative psychological factors (depression, and test anxiety) between MAAS and FFMQ. Of the 590 junior-high and high school students in Seoul, Korea, 578 completed and returned the questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the MAAS and the FFMQ. Pearson's correlations indicated that mindfulness was positively associated with positive psychological factors (i.e., psychological well-being, happiness, and gratitude), whereas it was negatively associated with negative psychological factors (i.e., depression, and test anxiety). It was observed that there were gender differences and school level differences in mindfulness. Female students were higher in FFMQ (subscales) ‘describing’ than male students. Junior-high school students were higher in FFMQ (subscales) ‘describing’ than high school students. Simple regression analyses showed that mindfulness significantly predicted the positive psychological factors, and negative psychological factors. Implications of the findings were discussed in terms of mindfulness.
