Abstract
This study examined the relationships between purpose in life, mindfulness, academic self-concordance and harmonious passion. It was hypothesized that academic self-concordance would mediate the relationship between purpose in life and harmonious passion. A moderated mediation model was predicted suggesting that with increased purpose in life there would be higher academic self-concordance and greater harmonious passion. In addition, it was hypothesized that mindfulness would moderate this mediation pathway such that the mediation pathway would be stronger for those high in mindfulness. Data was collected through a digital questionnaire on a convenience sample of 184 first-year psychology students. A PROCESS bootstrap moderated mediation analysis (Hayes, 2022) showed no support for the proposed model. However, an additional PROCESS bootstrap mediation analysis (Hayes, 2022) was carried out predicting that with greater purpose in life there would be more academic self-concordance and greater harmonious passion. The results supported the hypothesis, indicating that students with a high sense of purpose in life set goals that align with their purpose and experience greater harmonious passion. These findings add to the current knowledge about the academic benefits of purpose in life and may be useful in developing interventions to increase academic satisfaction and general student well-being.
