Overall mindfulness and some components of mindfulness such as awareness and attention correlate significantly and negatively with stress at significance level of 0.01 (r=-0.45, -0.13, -0.33 respectively). Automatics correlate significantly and positively with stress at significance level of 0.01 (r=0.37). Thus, automatics is a complete mediating variable between awareness and stress.
