The Mediating Effect of Self-Access on the Relationship between Mindfulness and Psychological Well-Being during Career Goal Pursuit: A Longitudinal Study

The ability to access self-referential information is crucial for satisfying career decisions. Using a longitudinal design, we propose self-access as a mediator on the relationship between mindfulness and well-being. Results showed that mindfulness predicts self-access over time, which in turn predicts less anxiety and depression symptoms during career goal pursuit.
