Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory and personal information form, which collect demographic information of the participants, were used in the data collection process. In order to investigate the relationships between mindfulness and cognitive flexibility (alternative and control), Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficients were determined. According to correlation analysis results, significant relationships between mindfulness and cognitive flexibility and alternatives and control, which are sub-factors of cognitive flexibility, were determined. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine whether the relationship between mindfulness and cognitive flexibility made a significant difference according to gender. According to the Manova test results, it was determined that gender has a significant effect on the relationship between mindfulness and cognitive flexibility. Simple linear regression analysis was performed to determine to what extent mindfulness predicts cognitive flexibility. As a result of the regression analysis, it was concluded that mindfulness explains 29.4% of the total variance of cognitive flexibility.
