| Summary: | The study explores the influence of mindfulness over cognitive failures as well as the possible mediating effect of impulsiveness between the two. In order to address this issue, a correlational research design is employed, accomplished through quantitative methods. The multiple regression analysis was primarily used along with other methods to test for mediation. Results show that partial mediation exists, and the indirect effect of mindfulness on cognitive failures via the mediator is significant at .001. Additionally, even while controlling for impulsiveness, 68.54% of the original effect of mindfulness remain significant at .001. This means that aside from the established indirect effect, mindfulness also has a direct effect on cognitive failure that is separate from impulsiveness. This suggests that mindfulness skills work best for people who are impulsive. The can utilize the effects to its full potential since they can take advantage of both the direct and indirect effects of mindfulness practice. Furthermore, since impulsiveness is inherently tied to risk taking behavior, the findings also suggest that mindfulness training would be effective in trying to subdue everyday mistakes for risk takers. |
