ABSTRACT

Dance students face many physical and psychological stressors in their training and daily lives, therefore methods for coping with stress are essential for performance enhancement and general wellbeing. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between mindfulness, stress, recovery, and wellbeing among university level vocational dance students. Seventy-two dance students at two Australian universities completed online self-report measures of mindfulness, recovery-stress states, and affect. Correlation coefficients indicated a significant positive relationship between mindfulness and positive affect, and significant negative relationships between mindfulness and stress, and mindfulness and negative affect. MANOVA revealed differences between high mindfulness and low mindfulness groups on general stress, negative affect, and dance-specific recovery. The findings suggested that low mindfulness may be a risk factor for stress in general, and improvements in mindfulness may provide a protective buffer for students coping with a vast array of general and dance-specific demands.

摘要

舞蹈学生在训练和日常生活中面临许多生理和心理压力，因此应对压力的方法对于提高表现和整体健康至关重要。本研究旨在调查大学水平职业舞蹈学生的正念、压力、恢复和幸福感之间的关系。澳大利亚两所大学的 72 名舞蹈学生完成了关于正念、恢复压力状态和情感的在线自我报告测量。相关系数表明正念与积极情绪之间存在显着的正相关关系，而正念与压力、正念和消极情绪之间存在显着的负相关关系。MANOVA 揭示了高正念组和低正念组在一般压力、负面影响、和舞蹈特定的恢复。研究结果表明，低正念可能是一般压力的风险因素，而正念的改善可能为学生应对大量一​​般和特定舞蹈要求提供保护性缓冲。
