 The effect of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program on students' test performanceMatthias Dressler and Rune Ellemose Gulev International Journal of Sustainable Economy, 2021, vol. 13, issue 4, 389-401 Abstract: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), one of the most widely used mental training programs, has been reported to produce positive effects on psychological well-being and to ameliorate symptoms of a number of disorders. The current article seeks to explore if it can be scientifically determined that through mental training people can be led to act in a more sustainable manner with their mental forces and, at the same time, be significantly more efficient. The study sought to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction on bachelor-level students' weekly test results. The results showed that there are significant differences between the experimental and the control group. Mindfulness-based stress reduction was influential in achieving higher scores and grades thus supporting our research hypothesis. Accordingly, the current article demonstrates that training of mindfulness-based stress reduction can be successful in coping effectively with testing conditions that are conducted under time constraints. Keywords: mindfulness; sustainability; mindfulness-based stress reduction; MBSR; test; time constrain; effectiveness; students.
