Keyword: OtherAbstract: This study examines the impact of mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and rumination on well-being in 524 undergraduates, using two mindfulness conceptualizations for a comprehensive understanding. By combining machine learning with traditional SEM, results reveal that mindfulness influences well-being indirectly via flexibility and rumination, with one mindfulness conceptualization showing stronger predictive power.
