| Abstract: | This study aims to analyse the effect of the mindfulness app 7Mind on well-being of university students between the ages of 18-27. The study is structured in a pre-post design. Students will use the app for a week by doing mindfulness exercises from the app 7Mind and fill out questionaires before and after the week they use the mindfulness app. The hypotheses were that emotional, social, psychological and total well-being will significantly increase from pre- to post-intervention. Emotional and psychological well-being met the assumption of normality. The results of paired samples t-tests indicated significant increases for emotional well-being with a small to medium effect size, and psychological well-being, with a medium effect size. Conversely, social, and total well-being were shown to violate the assumption of normality. The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and rank-biserial correlations revealed significant increases and large effect sizes for social, and total well-being. Findings support the potential effectiveness of the 7Mind mindfulness app in significantly enhancing dimensions of well-being in university students. The absence of a control group presents a limitation, since the improvements in well-being cannot be conclusively attributed to the intervention, as alternative explanations such as the novelty effect cannot be ruled out. |
