Editorial [International Journal of Emotional Education, 16(2)]

Abstract

In this edition, we have several studies on the mental health, wellbeing and social and emotional competence of university students and staff. In a study on mindfulness and flow with 270 university students, Lubjin Golub and Gajšek (Croatia) report on the positive relationship between mindfulness and academic flow and how they are both associated with higher academic engagement and academic flourishing and lower anxious engagement. The results indicate that flow in academic activities mediates the relationship between mindfulness and academic engagement and academic flourishing. In another research report, Delgado and colleagues (Peru) examined the role of socio-informative strategies in enhancing the mental health and emotional intelligence of university students, reporting that socio-informative strategies decreased depression, anxiety and stress and enhanced emotional intelligence.
