Abstract: (96 Views)
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between mindfulness and life satisfaction mediated by subjective vitality. This study was descriptive-correlational and structural equation model type. The statistical population of the study consisted of male and female students at University of Birjand in the academic year 2025-2026, from which 340 students were selected as a sample through convenience sampling. The instruments of this study included Brown and Ryan's Mindfulness Awareness Scale (MAAS, 2003), Diener et al.'s Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS, 1985), and Ryan and Frederick's Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS, 1997). The data from the study were analyzed using structural equation analysis. The findings of this study indicated that the proposed model had a good fit. The results showed that mindfulness and subjective vitality had a direct and significant effect on life satisfaction, and the direct effect of mindfulness on life satisfaction was also significant (P<0.05). In addition, the results of the bootstrap test showed that the indirect path was also significant and subjective vitality played a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and life satisfaction (P<0.01). These findings suggest that life satisfaction is affected not only by a direct contribution of mindfulness, but also indirectly through the mediating influence of subjective vitality.
