Abstract: This study examined the predictive relationship between mindfulness and counseling, self-efficacy and the potential mediating effects of attention and empathy. Master's-level counseling interns and doctoral counseling students (N = 179) were surveyed to determine levels of mindfulness. attention. empathy. and counseling self-efficacy. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients revealed significant pairwise relationships between the 4 variables of interest. A multiple-mediator path analysis supported the hypotheses that mindfulness
is a significant predictor of counseling self-efficacy and that attention is a mediator of that relationship, Results suggest that mindfulness may be an important variable in the development of key counselor
preparation outcomes.
