Abstract

This study investigated the benefits of mindfulness meditation practice on self-report emotional intelligence, general self-efficacy, and general perceived stress. The survey data was collected from 317 respondents in Thailand. The results analyzed using the partial least squares regression indicated that mindfulness meditation practice tended to associate positively with emotional intelligence. Practicing mindfulness meditation also negatively relates to general perceived stress directly and indirectly through emotional intelligence. However, the positive association between the meditation and general self-efficacy was only found to be mediated by emotional intelligence.
