Özet

The main aim of this study was to investigate adolescents' eustress–distress andmindfulness by examining mental toughness (MT) using network and mediator an-alyses. The study included 414 adolescents. The results showed that MT waspositively related to eustress and mindfulness, but distress was negatively related toMT. Based on the network analysis findings, we tested mindfulness' mediating rolein the relationship between eustress–distress and MT. The findings showed thatmindfulness played a significant mediating role. However, the mediating role ofmindfulness was negative for the relationship between distress and toughness andpositive for eustress. These findings advance eustress, distress, and mindfulness asmechanisms for understanding the effects of MT. Considering current knowledge ofMT, eustress, distress, and mindfulness, the results are discussed.
