Aims: Cognitive abilities are the connector of the behavior and brain structure and encompass a wide range of abilities. The present study was conducted with the aim of predication of mindfulness based on cognitive abilities and its sub-components in NAJA students.
Materials & Methods: This correlation study was conducted in female students of NAJA University in 2015-2016. The sample size was estimated to be 165 according to the Cochran formula; due to the probability of loss, 193 students were selected by convenience sampling method. The data were collected through the Five-Factor Inventory of Mindfulness and Nejati's questionnaire on cognitive abilities.
Findings: There was a positive and significant relationship between mindfulness and the overall score of cognitive abilities and some of its components. The components of cognitive abilities were able to predict mindfulness. But, none of the components could significantly explain a part of variance of mindfulness.
Conclusion: By increasing the mindfulness of individuals, their cognitive ability also increases. All cognitive ability factors were able to predict 24% of the variance of mindfulness.
