Abstract
Resilience is a protective factor that allows an individual to overcome adversity such as trauma and large workloads. Resilience has been heavily studied both from the viewpoint of its countering effects to unfavorable outcomes and its relation to personality and other intraindividual variables. Mindfulness is one intraindividual trait that has been previously shown to be positively related to resilience. Mindfulness has also been negatively related to measures of psychological adjustment such as burnout. Past studies have failed to evaluate the relationship between these as resilience may mediate these relationships. A model proposed by Rees et al. (2015) to explain resilience as a mediator between these intraindividual variables and psychological adjustment. The current study seeks to evaluate one portion of this model utilizing mindfulness and burnout. Participants will complete a survey consisting of the Brief Resilience Scale, the Mindfulness Skill Scale, the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and demographic information. Testing this portion of the workforce resilience model will help to illustrate how resilience acts on these relationships and the underlying processes towards a more complete theory on resilience.
