- 소개/요약Because self-regulation has been documented as the main cause of K-12 students' lack of college and career readiness, mindfulness interventions that augment self-regulation, self-efficacy and academic performance may offer support. This study evaluated the effects of the Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!), a biophysical workshop for adolescents that teaches breathing practices, meditation and other mindful practices to regulate stress, emotions, and attentional focus on self-regulation, self-efficacy and academic performance. Approximately 339 Middle school students (11-14 years of age) in the United States participated in YES! during their physical education classes and continued weekly follow-ups over a two month period. Students in a control group attended their usual curriculum and were tested in parallel. ANOVA and MANCOVA analysis was used to determine significant growth in the variables. The causal role of YES! on students' self-efficacy, self-regulation, and academic performance was studied using path analysis procedures. Additionally four open-ended questions were used to gather rich data for explaining the phenomena. ANOVA analysis determined that the YES! program had a significant impact on mindfulness and self-regulation from post to 1-month follow-up after appropriate cultivation of mindfulness. A SEM causal path best-fit analysis found a direct effect of mindfulness on academic performance was significant only when the mediators, self-regulation and self-efficacy, are absent but when the mediators are present the direct effect becomes insignificant and the indirect effect from mindfulness through the mediators to academic performance becomes significant. The results suggest that YES! can promote mindfulness, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and academic performance that increased directly with longevity of practices and subsequent increased cultivation of mindfulness._x000D_
