Reklaitiene D, Vveinhardt J. Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence as Predictors of Psychological Well-Being in Athletes with Disabilities. Sports, 13(11), 389. https://doi.org/10.3390/sports13110389 Although athletes who have disabilities face unique challenges, little is known about the interaction between mindfulness and emotional intelligence in the context of their psychological self-feeling. This study is among the first to systematically examine how mindfulness and emotional intelligence are related to stress, anxiety and depression in this population and to reveal the pathways through which the mediating effect of emotional intelligence manifests itself. A total of 95 athletes who have various types of disabilities were surveyed. The research instrument consisted of several scales: Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport (MIS), and the Emotional Intelligence Scale for Use in Sport (EIS). The data were analysed by employing descriptive statistical methods, performing correlation analysis, creating regression models, and through mediation analysis. Several significant trends were identified: professional athletes demonstrated higher mindfulness than amateurs, and higher education was associated with lower mindfulness and emotional intelligence. #disabilitysports #mindfulness #emotionalintelligence #mentalhealth #athletes #sportspsychology #disabilityawareness #psychologicalwellbeing #stressmanagement #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthmatters #psychologicalsupport #sportsresearch #emotionalcompetency #individualizedsupport #athleteswithdisabilities #mindfulnessinsport #psychologicalselffeeling #sportsinterventions #mentalhealthresearch #openscience
