Abstract:

Cognitive well-being in mindfulness is the ability to experience and accept the process in all its aspects, even during challenging moments and adverse situations. This study focused on examining the impact of mindfulness characteristics on several variables among students studying at various departments and grades within the Faculty of Sport Sciences. It employed a quantitative research approach using a descriptive survey method. The research encompassed 463 voluntary participants, comprising 268 male and 195 female students, enrolled in the Adıyaman University Faculty of Sport Sciences, specifically in the Department of Coaching Education and the Department of Physical Education and Sports Teaching, during the 2022-2023 academic year. The research revealed significant differences in scores from the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale based on the gender variable (t=3.864, p=0.002). A significant relationship was established between the scale scores and participant age (F=3.144, p=0.000). The mean score from the scale for students at the Faculty of Sport Sciences was 53.68, surpassing the general average.
