Description
Zhihao Gong, Kai Qiu, and Feng Xue trace how mindfulness feeds study engagement in dance majors in a 2026 paper. Dance training is intense, repetitive, and judged constantly, which strains wellbeing. The team surveyed 711 undergraduates at five universities across five provinces in China.
Standard scales measured mindfulness, self efficacy, burnout, and engagement. Mindfulness linked directly to engagement, with a correlation of 0.330. Self efficacy carried part of that link on its own, and a serial path through self efficacy then lower burnout carried more. The chain model was tested with five thousand bootstrap resamples. The findings suggest attention training lifts engagement partly by building confidence and easing exhaustion.
