Abstract
This study investigated the effects of Mandala coloring on subjective well-being, mindfulness, and spirituality, and the relationship between mindfulness, spirituality and subjective well-being. Methods: Recruited 80 students from Chang gung university in Taiwan, measures of the three main variables were administered at pre–test and post-test. Results: Subjective well-being significantly increased (mean score of 3.96 and 4.67 at pre- and post-test, respectively), there is a positive correlation between mindfulness, spirituality and SWB. Spirituality would mediate the relationship between mindfulness and SWB. Conclusion: These results suggest that Mandala coloring can have a positive effect on the subjective well-being. However, further research concerning its effects on mindfulness, spirituality and SWB, as well as other psychological constructs, is warranted to better understand the effects of Mandala coloring.
