The Relationship of Personality Traits with Metacognition: The Regulating Role of Mindfulness

Öz

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between personality traits and metacognition and the regulatory role of mindfulness in this relationship. The research is a relationship-scanning model, and Hayes' process plugin was used for regulatory role analysis. The research sample consisted of 413 individuals between the ages of 18-51. The Metacognition Scale-30, Mindfulness Scale, and Five-Factor Personality Scale Short Form were used for data collection. According to the findings of the study, there is a negative relationship between extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience, mindfulness, and pathological metacognition and a positive relationship with neuroticism. Mindfulness was not found to play a significant regulatory role in the relationship between personality traits and metacognition.
