Abstract

BACKGROUND: Well-being is a desired and optimal state of functioning of individuals, which may be modified through various psychological factors. Mindfulness is a cultivable state of mind, which enhances experiential processing of stimuli. It is hypothesized that apart from mindfulness, the social environment of the individual vis-à-vis social support may help predict well-being. This study was done to examine mindfulness, social support, and well-being, their relationship and role in the Indian population. METHODS: Through purposive sampling, 375 men and women (mean age = 35.05 years; standard deviation = 12.82) were recruited into the study and were administered the cognitive and affective mindfulness scale-revised, interpersonal support evaluation list, and the brief inventory of thriving. The obtained quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient (Pearson's r), and multiple hierarchical regression analysis. RESULTS: The results showed a positive correlation among mindfulness, social support and its dimensions (tangible, appraisal, and belonging), and well-being. Regression analyses revealed that mindfulness and social support in combination contributed to well-being, where belonging support was seen to be a unique significant predictor. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that both mindfulness and social support are significant indices of well-being, and this is especially useful in developing psychosocial interventions that would enhance well-being. Implications and limitations of the study have also been discussed.

幸福感指数:正念和社会支持的作用
背景:幸福感是个体的理想和最佳功能状态,它可以通过各种心理因素进行修改。正念是一种可培养的心理状态,它能增强对刺激的经验处理。据推测,除了正念,社会环境的个人vis-à-vis社会支持可能有助于预测幸福。这项研究是为了检验正念、社会支持和幸福感,以及它们在印度人口中的关系和作用。方法:通过目的抽样,对375名男女(平均年龄35.05岁;标准偏差= 12.82)的研究对象,采用认知和情感正念量表、人际支持评估表和繁荣简要清单进行研究。采用描述性统计、Pearson积差相关系数(Pearson’s r)和多元层次回归分析对获得的定量数据进行分析。结果:正念、社会支持及其维度(有形、评价和归属)与幸福感之间存在正相关。回归分析显示,正念和社会支持相结合有助于幸福感,其中归属感支持被视为一个独特的显著预测因子。结论:可以得出结论,正念和社会支持都是幸福感的重要指标,这对于开发能够提高幸福感的社会心理干预措施特别有用。本文还讨论了本研究的意义和局限性。
