Self-Awareness Process and BioPsychoSocioSpiritual Health

The aim of present study was to investigate the relationship between two holistic constructs of self-awareness, mindfulness and integrative self-knowledge, and their associations with physical, psychological, social and spiritual health problem. To do so, ۲۴۹ Iranian university students,۱۷۰ women and ۷۹men,completed following scales: Mindfulness Attention Awareness (Brown & Ryan, ۲۰۰۳), Integrative Self-Knowledge (Ghorbani, Watson & Hargis, ۲۰۰۸), Biopsychosociospiritual inventory (Katerndahl; Oyiriaru, ۲۰۰۷), and Depression Anxiety Stress (Lovibond;Lovibond, ۱۹۹۵). The data showed that these two constructs of self-awareness are negatively associated with all aspects of health. The integrative self-knowledge also predicted all measures of health that are beyond the mindfulness. These results point toward the integrative and temporal nature of self- awareness processes and suggest a need for studying the direction and nature of relation between Self-awareness and health.
