Methods Adolescents ( N = 493, M age 16.7; 47.5% girls) recruited within high schools completed online measures. We conducted testing through path analysis MPlus, using modification indices to derive a well-fitting model. Results initially hypothesized poor fit for data. final well-adjusted confirmed several significant paths supported parallel mediational roles (specifically, use pressure) along mindfulness, on COVID-19-related satisfaction. Model adjustments involved adding three paths, resulting two additional indirect effects, suppressing one path. Conclusions Findings suggest that pressure are potential key processes explaining disorders among adolescents who experienced higher levels distress.
