Abstract: In order to explore the underlying mechanism of the effect of mindfulness on wisdom, the current study examines the mediating effect of personal growth initiative (PGI) on the relationship between mindfulness and wisdom. It demonstrates the moderating effect of reflection on the mediating process, using 137 college students randomly assigned to the control and experimental group (Mindfulness Intervention). To be specific, the results show that mindfulness may well effectively promote wisdom development. Additionally, mindfulness can also indirectly enhance the development of wisdom by improving the level of PGI. Furthermore, reflection moderates the direct path of mindfulness affecting wisdom. Most importantly, the mediating effect of PGI between mindfulness and wisdom is moderated by reflection.

Key words: wisdom, mindfulness intervention, personal growth initiative, reflective perspective
