Dispositional Mindfulness and Perceived Stress as Predictors of Cognitive Failure

Abstract

Mindfulness is paying attention purposefully and non judgmentally to the present moment.
The present study was aimed to investigate the relationship between dispositional mindfulness,
perceived stress and cognitive failure. The study was conducted a sample of 200 adults of age range
19-30 using mindfulness attention awareness scale, perceived stress scale and cognitive failure
questionnaire. The results revealed that dispositional mindfulness was negatively related to
cognitive failure and its dimensions, and perceived stress. Perceived stress was positively related to
cognitive failure and its dimensions and mindfulness and perceived stress independently predicted
cognitive failure.
