Mindfulness and its relationship to emotional creativity among students of the Faculty of Physical Education at the University of Tobruk

Abstract

This research aims to study the levels of mindfulness and emotional creativity among students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Tobruk University, as well as to analyze the relationship between mindfulness and emotional creativity among these students. Additionally, the research seeks to determine the contribution ratio of mindfulness dimensions to the dimensions of emotional creativity and to develop predictive equations for emotional creativity based on mindfulness. The researcher employed the descriptive method, suitable for the nature and objectives of the research. The research sample included 96 students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Tobruk University, selected deliberately from second, third, and fourth-year students for the academic year 2024. An exploratory study was conducted on 17 students from the college for the academic year 2024, while the main study included 79 students. The emotional creativity and mindfulness scales were applied to the sample according to the research objectives, hypotheses, and procedures.

The researcher concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between the level of mindfulness and emotional creativity. As the level of mindfulness increases, the level of emotional creativity also increases. Additionally, there was a variance in the percentage of mindfulness dimensions possessed by the students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Tobruk University. "Awareness of multiple perspectives" was the highest, while "openness to new experiences" was the lowest. Similarly, there was a variance in the percentage of emotional creativity dimensions possessed by the students, with "originality" being the highest and "effectiveness" being the lowest.

The researcher also found significant positive correlations between the dimensions of mindfulness and the dimensions of emotional creativity, with all correlation coefficients being significant and positive. Finally, the researcher developed predictive equations for the dimensions of emotional creativity based on some dimensions of mindfulness.
