Abstract
Present study is directed to analizing general and interpersonal awareness among students of humanities, natural sciences and technical types of education (the sample consisted of 391 students aged 18-26 years, 83 % were female). The hypothesis of a higher level of mindfulness among students of the humanities was tested. It was revealed that all students, regardless of the field of education, received values of the degree of dispositional and interpersonal mindfulness within the average values. Statistically significant lower status of the components of mindfulness Observativon and Attention to self and others were revealed in students of the technical profile. The results obtained open up horizons for further research on the development of mindfulness within the framework of educational practices.
