| Summary: | The present study investigates the mediating effect of mindfulness on the role of intuition upon problem solving style among university students in India. 755 university and college students in India (Male = 310, Female = 445) completed a questionnaire that contained items of types of intuition scale (TintS) developed by Pretz et.al., mindfulness attention awareness scale (MASS) developed by Brown & Ryan, and problem solving style questionnaire (PSSQ) developed by Cassidy & Long, along with items to obtain demographic details and informed consent from respondents. Path analysis to explore the influence of (i) mindfulness on intuition and problem solving; (ii) intuition on problem solving and SEM model to find out the mediating effect of mindfulness on the influence of intuition upon problem solving were analyzed.Main findings of the research include: • Path models and structural model for mediation analysis show good model fit. • Mindfulness significantly and positively influence intuition; intuition and mindfulness significantly influence problem solving by positively influencing positive factors and negatively influencing negative factors of problem solving style. • Mindfulness fully mediated intuition up on problem solving style. The research highlights the significant impact of mindfulness on cognitive processes such as intuition and problem solving style. |
