Mindfulness and Mental Health Relationship Mediated by Psychological Capital: Evidence from India

Abstract

With the expanding concern about mental health, mindfulness benefits mental health in various mechanisms. The present work identifies the association between mindfulness and mental health mediated by psychological Capital. The data was accessed from a survey questionnaire survey of 431 respondents from India (approximately 54% males), and the structural equation modelling technique was applied for data analysis. The results suggest that greater mindfulness is remarkably linked with mental health and psychological capital is linked substantially with positive mental health. Mediation analysis is vital in determining the relationship between mindfulness and mental health.
