The sample of the study consists of randomly selected (156 female, 51 male). For data collection, the "Fear of Compassion Scale," ''Mindful Attention Awareness Scale,'' ''Adults Life Satisfaction Scale'' and a "Personal Information Form" prepared by the researcher were used. A "Normality Test" was conducted to determine whether the data was normally distributed. The data were found to be normally distributed, thus "Parametric Tests," including the "İndependent samples t-test" and "One Way ANOVA" test, were employed. According to the results of this research, there is a positive and significant relationship between adults mindfulness levels and life satisfaction. There is a significant negative relationship between levels of conscious awareness and levels of fear of compassion. It was determined that there was a significant negative relationship between levels of fear of compassion and life satisfaction.
