Text of Note

Many studies have associated mindfulness interventions with decreased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and perceived stress. Many are encouraging institutions to see mental health as an important part of the skill set that is necessary for successful career development and to offer programs that have shown to be effective at institutions. This study focused on some of the limitations of previous studies including the limited data on HBCU students of color. This study sought to determine if there was a relationship between mindfulness levels and perceived stress, perceived academic stress, self-esteem and academic motivation in individuals enrolled in HBCU's. Data was gathered on 46 students of color at HBCU's located in the southeastern region of the U.S. They were asked demographic information as well required to fill out 7 surveys; Academic Motivation Scale (AMS-C28), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), The Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Perceptions of Academic Stress Scale (PAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y-1 and Y-2 (STAI). The study found that there was a relationship between mindfulness levels and perceived stress as well mindfulness levels and self-esteem. The study yielded no significant relationship between mindfulness levels and academic motivation nor mindfulness levels and perceived academic stress. There was also no significant relationship between perceived stress and perceived academic stress. In terms of research, the current study revealed that further understanding of the academic motivation and perceived academic stress and how they relate to mindfulness levels need to be conducted as research with students of color is limited and results have been conflicting. Finally, in terms of the benefits of mindfulness, it seems to have several relationships with other variables that could affect a person's educational success.
