Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic emotion of hope in the relationship between mindfulness and socio-emotional loneliness.The statistical population of the study included all undergraduate students from Shiraz University who were studying in the academic year 2018-2019, from which 300 students (137boys and163 girls) were selected by random cluster sampling. They completed Adolescent and Adult Mindfulness Scale(AAMS Droutman, Golub, Oganesyan, &Read, 2018), Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry(2002) academic emotion of hope, and Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults(SELSA-S, Ditommaso, Brannen, & Best, 2004). The results showed that the direct effect of mindfulness on Feeling of Socio-Emotional Loneliness was not significant; but the direct effect of mindfulness on academic emotion of hope and the direct effect of academic emotion of hope on feeling of Socio-Emotional Loneliness were significant; also, the effect of mindfulness on feeling of Socio-Emotional Loneliness was mediated significantly by academic emotion of hope. In general, the findings revealed the role of mindfulness and academic emotion of hope in explaining feeling of Socio-Emotional Loneliness.Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that in order to reduce students' feeling of Socio-Emotional Loneliness, their mindfulness and hope should be considered.
