Purpose: This study investigated the mediating roles of mindfulness as a coping strategy in the relationships between cognitive appraisals and effort/persistence in university dance classes. Methods: The participants were 428 undergraduates (78 males, 350 females) ranging in age from 18 to 27 (M=20.18, SD= 1.62). Data were analyzed via structural equation modeling using IBM SPSS Statistic 21 and AMOS 21. Results: Structural equation modelling analysis revealed that challenge appraisal predicted mindfulness, which, in turn, linked to students effort and persistence. In contrast, threat appraisal was unrelated to mindfulness, which, in turn, was not predictive of students' effort and persistence. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that mindfulness partially mediated the relation between challenge appraisal to stressful events and effort/persistence in dance classes. Implications for the role of mindfulness in stress are discussed.
