“…The goal of mindfulness-based intervention programs is not to eliminate compelling emotions, but to provide the individual with understanding, acceptance and awareness of compelling emotions as in positive emotions. Looking at the studies in the literature, it is clear that mindfulness based therapy applications have significant effects on cognitive and emotional processes (Baer, 2007;Cooper, Frone, Russell & Mudar, 1995;Demir & Gundogan, 2018;Johnson & Larson, 1982;Mennin, Heimberg & Fresco, 2005;Peker Akman & Demir, 2021).…”

Study was prepared to determine the effect of group practices on the alexithymia symptoms of individuals using Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Art Therapy (AT) techniques. Experimental design with pretest and posttest control groups was used in the study. Individuals who received high scores on the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and volunteered were assigned to the first experiment (14), the second experiment (14) and the control group (14) objectively. The study group of the research consists of second and third year students studying at the psychology department of Istanbul Gelisim University. Participation in the research is on a voluntary basis. The measurement tools were applied as a pretest before the application and as a posttest at the end of the application. In the study, MBCT Program was applied to the first experimental group and AT program was applied to the second experimental group. Not any procedure was applied to the control group. The experimental process was applied to both experimental groups once a week, 90 minutes to the MBCT Group, and 120 minutes to the AT group as 8 sessions. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to compare the groups among themselves. The group from which the difference originated was analyzed by the Mann Whitney U Test. As a result, MBCT Program and AT program were found to be effective in reducing the levels of alexithymia. There was no remarkable change in the measurements of the individuals in the control group. When the studies on alexithymia in our country are examined, besides the research of this concept, the lack of practical studies on this concept draws attention. The idea that group work with art therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy programs designed to reduce alexithymia in the normal population will make a significant contribution to the field theoretically, practically and experimentally. It was observed that there wasn’t any significant difference in alexithymia levels between the two therapy programs. The results, limitations and strengths of the study were discussed under the leadership of the literature.

The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between preschool teachers' cognitive flexibility levels, mindfulness levels, self-efficacy perceptions, and to specify whether cognitive flexibility and mindfulness of preschool teacher predict self-efficacy of preschool teacher. Study group of the research, in which the relational scanning model was used, consists of 230 preschool teachers working in the spring term of the 2020-2021 academic year. “Cognitive Flexibility Inventory”, “Conscious Awareness Scale”, "Preschool Teachers' Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale", and "Personal Information Form" were applied as data collection tool. In the analysis of the data, Independent Samples t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe, Pearson Correlation and Regression Analysis were utilised. Regarding the research, it was found that cognitive flexibility, mindfulness and self-efficacy of preschool teachers were positively and significantly related to each other. Additionally, it was concluded that cognitive flexibility and mindfulness significantly predicted self-efficacy perception.

Background and Study Aim. University students often face high levels of stress and mental health issues. These challenges can negatively affect their academic performance and overall well-being. Physical activity and mindfulness may offer benefits, but there is limited research on their relationship in students. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between physical activity status and mindful awareness in university students, considering their gender groups and smoking status. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted using the relational screening method, a quantitative research design. The research population comprised associate and undergraduate students enrolled at public universities in Turkey. Of the 830 participants selected at random, 60.3% were women (n=499) and 39.7% (n=331) were men. The data were collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). As the Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that the data were not normally distributed, the subsequent analyses employed the Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rho correlation analysis. Results. The mean age of participants was 22.0±4.5 years. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.1±3.4 kg/m². The rate of physically inactive/sedentary students was 18.2%. The rate of students with low physical activity levels was 50.1%. The rate of students with sufficient physical activity levels was 31.7%. The total physical activity (PA) score was 2046 MET-min/week. The largest contribution to the total score came from walking activity. The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) score was found to be normal, with a mean of 59.2±12.5. The mindfulness score was positively related to vigorous physical activity. It was negatively related to sitting time. Conclusions. The findings suggest that increasing physical activity, particularly vigorous exercise, can positively impact mindfulness. Additionally, reducing sedentary behavior might further support the improvement of mindful awareness among university students. These results highlight the importance of incorporating physical activity programs into student lifestyles to promote mental well-being.
