Abstract:<\/strong> This study examined the relationship between mindful attention awareness and personal growth initiative (PGI) among 102 participants. It also considered how demographic factors like gender and living area might influence the results. The participants included 61.8% males and 38.2% females from urban (55.9%), rural (38.2%), and semi-urban (5.9%) settings. They completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II (PGIS-II). These measures assessed factors such as Readiness to Change, Intentional Behavior, Using Resources, Planfulness, and Total PGI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pearson correlations showed strong positive links between mindful awareness and all PGI factors. The strongest association was with Total PGI (r = .666, p < .001), followed by Readiness to Change (r = .633, p < .001), and Intentional Behavior (r = .620, p < .001). Independent samples t-tests found a significant gender difference in Readiness to Change. Males scored higher (M = 14.29) than females (M = 12.41; t = 2.064, p = .042), but no differences were observed in other areas (all p > .05). One-way ANOVA indicated no significant effects of living area on any measures (all p > .05).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings suggest that mindful awareness was strongly associated with personal growth initiative, with males showing a greater readiness to change. Living area does not seem to play a significant role here. These results highlight the importance of mindfulness in encouraging proactive personal development. They also suggest the need for gender-specific interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
