87 Potential mediators in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program for elementary school teachers to reduce perceived stress and improve well-being and classroom climate: A multiple mediation model Figure 1 Visualization of mediation models RESULTS Preliminary analyses The final study sample included 138 participants, of which 89.85% were female (n = 124) and 94.20% had a western background (n = 130). On average, the participants were 39.4 years old (SD = 11.3). Descriptive analyses (means and standard deviation) for the control and intervention group are presented in Table 1. Correlation analyses demonstrated multiple positive or negative correlations between the outcome measures and mediators at baseline (Table 2). For example, perceived stress had a negative correlation with wellbeing (r = -0.42, p < 0.001), classroom climate quality (r = -0.20, p = 0.02), mindfulness skills (r = -0.49, p < 0.001), self-compassion (r = -0.53, p < 0.001), teacher self-efficacy (r = -0.19, p = 0.02). Perceived stress was positively correlated with emotion regulation (r = 0.55, p < 0.001). 5
