Abstract

The mindfulness personality trait is defined as an ability to focus on the here and now, where the individual can deliberately direct their attention towards external and internal elements. High levels of mindfulness are significantly correlated with an increase in overall well-being, a reduction in perceived stress levels and noticeable improvements in concentration and academic performance. The objective of this research is to describe the level of mindfulness trait in 125 students of the seventh cycle of the faculty of psychology of the University of Cuenca, from a one-dimensional perspective and considering the domains of acceptance and presence, In addition to examining significant gender differences. This study is descriptive, to document and analyze mindfulness as a personality trait. The results show that the population has a moderate attention trait, with presence higher than acceptance and without significant differences by gender and age. Male has a higher score on the total scale and acceptance dimension, and female has a higher score on the presence dimension. The results lead to a better understanding of mindfulness in students, new research is promoted that increases the variables and explains their relationship, or the development of mindfulness programs that allow this trait to be enhanced and mental well-being increased.
