Abstract
This study assessed the association between disadvantaged characteristics and resilience and the role of mindfulness among Chinese vocational school students. We hypothesized that disadvantaged characteristics negatively associated with mindfulness, which subsequently inhibited resilience. The data was collected from 875 senior students from a vocational school in China. The results from the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were aligned with our hypotheses that disadvantaged characteristics were negatively associated with mindfulness, and the lowered mindfulness reduced individual resilience. Furthermore, disadvantaged characteristics had negative associations with both mindfulness and resilience for males; whereas, the associations were not significant for females. Although the study has certain limitations, the findings shed light on implications for research and practice.
