  • 소개/요약Mindfulness is a state of mind characterized by awareness and attention in the present moment, which reduces negative feelings and enhances positive emotions. This study aims to explore the relationship of mindfulness, perceived stress and happiness. The mediating role of stress in the relationship between mindfulness and happiness was also underpinned. A sample of 144 students from senior secondary schools was tested by using Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale–R, Perceived Stress Scale, The Oxford Happiness Scale and Subjective Happiness Scale. The data, which was obtained through these tests, were analyzed by applying correlation and regression analysis and the results indicated that mindfulness was significantly and positively associated with happiness whereas negatively associated with perceived stress. The data stipulates that perceived stress significantly mediates the relationship of mindfulness and happiness. The results were discussed in the light of available research; future direction and recommendation for effective intervention strategies were also suggested.
