Comparing hedonic and eudaimonic orientations with an active approach toward personal growth: the mediating effect of mindfulness
| Resumo: | The main objective of this study is to analyse the association eudaimonic and hedonic orientations to well-being have with an active and intentional involvement in the process of developing and changing as a person (i.e., personal growth initiative). Also, the possibility of trait mindfulness having a mediating role between these variables will be investigated. Even if trait mindfulness has been widely studied over the past years, the relation it has with the orientations toward well-being, as well as with personal growth initiative is still fairly unknown. Intending to bridge this gap in research, associations were analysed in this cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in Portugal, and 281 fluent Portuguese speakers from the general population were recruited through convenience sampling. Each participant filled in an online survey that consisted of three scales for self-evaluation. Overall, the results indicated a positive and statistically significative correlation between the orientations (eudaimonic and hedonic), trait mindfulness, and each factor of personal growth initiative (readiness for change, planfulness, using resources, and intentional behavior). In addition, a partial mediating effect of trait mindfulness was detected between hedonic orientation and the cognitive component of personal growth initiative, namely the dimensions of readiness for change and planfulness. Further research is needed for a more detailed understanding of these associations, especially when it comes to the differences seen between hedonic and eudaimonic orientations, and the specific roles the personal growth initiative factors might have during the process of growth. |
