Drawing on the mindfulness-to-meaning theory, the research sought to clarify how mindfulness supports adolescents' spiritual well-being through social and relational mechanisms. Method: A correlational research design was employed with a sample of 761 adolescents attending high schools in T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Social Skills Scale, Peer Relations Scale, and the Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale. The hypothesized serial mediation model was tested using PROCESS Macro Model 6 with 5000 bootstrap samples. Results: Mindfulness was positively associated with SWB. Both social skills and peer relationships showed significant mediating effects. The serial indirect effect through social skills and peer relationships was also significant. Conclusions: Findings highlight mindfulness as a key psychosocial resource that enhances adolescents' spiritual well-being through improved social skills and supportive peer relationships. School-based mindfulness programs should integrate peer interaction and social skills components to promote adolescents' holistic development.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmindfulnessspiritual well-beingsocial skillspeer relationshipsadolescenceArticle1414151698510.3390/healthcare140100542-s2.0-105027934596Q2WOS:001657425700001Q20000-0002-7996-93100000-0002-9077-69820000-0003-3951-72610009-0005-3850-4516
