Abstract

As one of the main references for Chinese employers and graduate schools to select talents, great value is set on Academic Achievements by universities and students. This study mainly uses the questionnaire survey to explore the impact of students’ personal characteristics on their Academic Achievements and the relationship between the variables. The research sample involves undergraduates in different provinces across China, majoring in literature, management, science, engineering and medicine, etc. It is hoped that this study can provide reference for students’ management practice, help university students’ self-management, and provide ideas for relevant research in the future. The conclusion includes the following three parts: Firstly, except Mindfulness and Academic Self-efficacy, university students’ Mindfulness Level, Emotional Intelligence, Academic Self-efficacy and Academic Achievement are related to each other. However, there is no significant correlation between Mindfulness and Academic Self-efficacy. Secondly, Emotional Intelligence plays a mediating role in the influence of Mindfulness on Academic Achievement. Furthermore, the influence of Mindfulness on Academic Achievement is partly realized through the chain intermediary of Mindfulness—Emotional Intelligence—Academic Self-efficacy—Academic Achievement.
