“…However, the observe facet was negligibly associated with indicators of well-being in these populations across both studies, though was a positive predictor of anxiety in law students (Bergin & Pakenham, 2016). Moreover, Bergin and Pakenham (2016) also found that the describe and observe facets moderated the relationships between perceived stress and depression in university law students, thereby suggesting that these particular facets may play important roles in buffering the stress-depression relationship.…”

“…Particularly, the five facets of dispositional mindfulness have shown to play discrete roles on stress and psychological well-being (e.g., Baer et al, 2008;Bergin & Pakenham, 2016;Zimmaro et al, 2016). Accordingly, researchers have recommended that studies should use multifaceted measures of mindfulness to capture both attentional and attitudinal aspects of the concept (e.g., Keng & Tong, 2016).…”

“…Accordingly, researchers have recommended that studies should use multifaceted measures of mindfulness to capture both attentional and attitudinal aspects of the concept (e.g., Keng & Tong, 2016). For instance, some studies have shown that four of the facets, namely describe, act with awareness, non-judge and nonreactivity, were positively associated with psychological well-being in psychology students and highly educated individuals (Baer et al, 2008) as well as negatively associated with perceived stress, depression and anxiety in law students (Bergin & Pakenham, 2016).…”

The role of dispositional mindfulness on stress in student-athletes and factors that mediate this relationship has yet to be examined. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the facets of mindfulness and life stress in studentathletes and whether these relationships are mediated through coping effectiveness and decision rumination. Participants were 202 student-athletes who completed validated measures of dispositional mindfulness, student-athlete life stress, decision rumination and coping effectiveness in sport. Results indicated that the acting with awareness and nonjudging facets of mindfulness were negative predictors of life stress, whereas the observe facet was a positive predictor of life stress. Mediation analyses revealed that these relationships were mediated through coping effectiveness and decision rumination. Findings provide new insight into the role dispositional mindfulness plays on student-athlete perceptions of life stress and implications for practitioners are discussed.

“…Our results consistent with study of Stanley & Bhuvaneswari [24] of undergraduate students at a women's-only college in Tiruchirapalli in South India (N = 73) which the study showed that correlations were significantly positive for the stress and anxiety scores as well as the coping and resilience scores. Similarly [12] in study of 647 university students enrolled in a Bachelor of Laws at one of three universities in Queensland, Australia, found that perceived stress was significantly positively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms and negatively correlated with life satisfaction and all well-being dimensions.…”

“…This theory suggests that the degree to which an individual experiences stress and associated strain is determined by both the objective characteristics of the stressors in their environment, and the individual's appraisal of these stressors, in addition to their coping strategies and coping resources [12].…”

AimThe aims of this study were to investigate the types and severity of stressors, to find the prevalence of anxiety and depression, to illustrate the types of coping strategies used in stressful situations, and to understand the relationship between stressful life events and mental health disorders including depression and anxiety, and other sociodemographic variables among universities students. MethodIt was a descriptive analytical study; the sample consisted of randomly selected 392 university students enrolled from the main four universities in Gaza Strip (Al-Aqsa, Al-Azhar, Al-Quds Open, and Islamic University) at the second semester of the academic year 2013 -2014. The researcher used five questionnaires; a predesigned Socio-demographic sheet, Stress Life Events Scale (SLES), Beck depression inventory -II (BDI-II), Taylor anxiety inventory (TAI), and Ways of Coping (WOC). ResultsThis study showed that mean life stressors was 63.34, male student significantly reported more economic, family, and personal stressors. While, female student reported more emotional and university environment stressors. The study showed that 28% had severe anxiety to very severe anxiety. There was no significant difference in anxiety according to gender. However, there was significant difference in anxiety toward students enrolled in Al Azhar University than the other three universities students according to the university or college type. The study showed that 14.2% of university students had moderate to severe depression. The study showed no significant gender difference in depression and according to university enrollment. The result showed that there was positive significant relationship between total stress and anxiety and depression.The results showed that mean total coping was 42.02, positive reappraisal was 25.96, self-control was 19.87. The result showed no significant differences in all coping strategies according to gender. According to university enrollment, students from Islamic university scored significantly in self-control coping than the other three universities. Our study showed that depression anxiety and coping positive reappraisal, wishful thinking, and student level significantly predict the manifestation of stress. Clinical ImplicationThe findings of the current study suggest that undergraduate students need extra measures. To create a special counseling unit that helps university students overcome the crises and pressures they may face by offering guidance and training programs that can introduce methods of effective dealing with challenging situations.

The purpose of this study was to describe law students' psychological symptoms, assess the role of law school stress in students' symptoms, and suggest ways college counselors can help this population. More than half of the 316 participants displayed symptoms of depression and psychological distress, and nearly half showed symptoms of anxiety. Law school stressors significantly predicted students' symptoms. Workload, peers, and low instrumental support most impacted students, thus providing specific directions and implications for college counselors.
