Background and Purpose: Few studies have examined the role of mindfulness in well-being in children. Given that individual differences can play an important role in the acceptance and effectiveness of mindfulness training, understanding the role of Big Five personality traits in responding to mindfulness interventions seems necessary. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of MindUp curriculum on well-being and Big Five personality traits, based on Maloney et al. (2016) theory of change,
Method: This study employed an experimental approach with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group.The study population included all elementary school girl students in grades 3-5 in Kerman in 2020-2021. Randomly, 35 individuals were assigned to the intervention group and 35 individuals were assigned to the control group.They answered Health-related Quality of Life Index (KIDSCREEN-10) (Erhart et al., 2009) and Big Five Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (BFQ-C) (Markos & Kokkinos, 2017). The MindUp curriculum was then presented in 15 sessions over the course of six months to the experimental group, while the control group did not receive any training. The final data analysis was performed by MANCOVA using SPSS with 66 participants.
Results: According to the findings, there is a difference in the mean of well-being, agreeableness, and extraversion variables in the experimental and control groups, and the MindUP curriculum improved students' well-being, agreeableness, and extraversion in the intervention group (p≤0/05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated the need for MindUp curriculum to emphasize well-being enhancement.T In addition, students who receive mindfulness training based on their personality traits, particularly agreeableness and extraversion, can expect more significant outcomes. |
