The study was conducted with a sample comprising 270 university students-133 men (49.26%) and 137 women (50.74%)-who filled out the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (MWQ), the Positive and Negative Affect Questionnaire (PANAS), and the SHS subjective happiness scale. Mind-wandering was found to be negatively correlated with happiness and positive effects. Higher mind-wandering-related scores went hand in hand with scores related to both lower happiness and positive affects. Approximately half the participants yielded low mind-wandering and negative affect scores and above-average happiness and positive affects scores. In addition, one in four scored above average in terms of mind-wandering and low in terms of happiness and positive effects. Finally, the mediating role played by affects was examined. It can be concluded that although in principle mind-wandering has no direct effect on happiness, some influence can be attested when affects, both positive and negative, are taken into consideration. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S46-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.251 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 124 / 273 = 0.454 2020 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 60 / 125 = 0.48 2020 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 30 / 44 = 0.682 2020 Q3 T3 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 9 = 0.667 2020 Q3 T3 0.611 2020 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2020 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2020 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2020 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Usán, Pablo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3789-3781 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
