This study investigated the mediating role of academic buoyancy in relationship Between mindfulness with happiness and academic achievement. Participants were 344 (164 male and 184 female) students in Shiraz University, selected by a random multi-stage cluster sampling method who completed the Academic Buoyancy Questionnaire (Hosseinchari & Dehghani, 1391), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer & et al., 2006), and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Hills & Argyle, 2002). Also, the total average score of students was considered an indicator of academic achievement. WARPPLS was used to test the model. The findings showed that mindfulness was positive and significant predictor of happiness and academic achievement. Mindfulness has a positive and significant relationship with academic buoyancy. Also confirmed the role of academic buoyancy as a mediator was also confirmed. Academic buoyancy has mediator role in relationship between mindfulness and happiness. But academic buoyancy showed a negative a mediator in the relationship between mindfulness and academic achievement.

The present study examined the antecedents of academic adjustment as a causal model. In this model, feelings of shame and guilt were as exogenous variables, self-handicapping as mediating variable, and academic adjustment as endogenous variable. The participants of this study were 421 (141 males and 280 females) undergraduate students of Shiraz University who were selected by multistage cluster sampling and completed the Shame and Guilt Inventory Questionnaire (Cohen et al. , 2011) , the Self-Disability Scale (Jones & Rhodewalt, 1982) and the Academic Adaptation Scale (Baker & Siryk, 1989). Structural equation analysis was performed by using Amos software to study the research model. The model was analyzed at two measurement and structural levels. The level of measurement findings indicated that the factor structure of guilt feeling in Iranian culture was different from that of instrument makers. The findings of structural relationships showed that feelings of guilt predicted academic adjustment positively both directly and through external self-handicapping. Concerning the feeling of shame, the results indicated that this emotion predicted internal self-handicapping negatively. In general, the findings of the study, on the one hand, showed the differences in emotion prediction profile with regard to self-handicapping and academic adjustment, and on the other hand, the differences between mediation of the two types of internal and external self-handicapping strategies in predicting academic adjustment.
