Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the multiple relationship between mindfulness with aggression, perceived stress and social anxiety. The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational research. To this end, 100 students from high school grade were selected by randomized multistage cluster sampling method. To collect data, the following questionnaires were used: Five-Factor Inventory of Mindfulness, Aggression Scale, Perceived Stress Questionnaire and Social Anxiety Questionnaire with acceptable validity and reliability. The statistical Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression methods were used to analyze the data, and the Cronbach's alpha approach was used to calculate reliability coefficient. The results showed that mindfulness is correlated with the rate of aggression, perceived stress and social anxiety. Also, the results of regression analysis indicated that each of the predictor variables are to some extent capable to predict the criterion variable variance.
