| Summary: | The present study shows the relationship between mindfulness, thought suppression and mental fatigue overall and in practitioners of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism in adult participants. The sample included 150 adult participants (75 Buddhism practising respondents and 75 Buddhism non-practising respondents). The assessment of responses to three self-rating scales namely Mental Fatigue Scale, White Bear Suppression Inventory and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between thought suppression and mental fatigue and a significant negative correlation between mindfulness and thought suppression and a negative correlation between mindfulness and mental fatigue. In the case of mindfulness and mental fatigue, there was no significant difference between the two groups. However, for thought suppression, there was a significant difference between practitioners of Buddhism and non-Buddhism respondents. |
