Abstract

This study explores the relationship between mindfulness, anxiety, and technology dependency, through the analysis of online survey responses. Results supported our hypotheses that greater mindfulness relates to less anxiety and that greater anxiety relates to less technology dependency. We also found that greater mindfulness directly relates to less technology dependency.
